Clean illustrated DJ that is slightly toned & price clipped, no rips or tears. Text is clean. Profusely illustrated with drawings and images. Colophon on the last page. "This study in mediaeval building is devoted to two surviving examples of the Cistercian abbey barn in England. The one at Great Coxwell, in Berkshire, still stands in eloquent testimony of the design elegance and technical mastery in timber construction during the Middle Ages; the other at Beaulieu-St. Leonard's in Hampshire, is a reconstruction of extant remains on the New Forest estate of Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. This monograph is the first extended treatment of these two buildings, probably the only surviving remains of the once extensive system of Cistercian barns in England, the total number of which at the end of the Middle Ages may have been between 2,000 and 3,000."
