This is one of a series designed to help teachers planning a site visit. Historical background is combined with a variety of possible study approaches, documentary sources and photocopiable activity sheets for classroom and on-site work, together with practical information about the site. This book focuses on two Somerset abbeys, Cleeve and Muchelney. The former is one of the best-preserved Cistercian sites in the South-West. It and the remains of Benedictine Muchelney are sites which are representative of many other smallish monasteries, illustrating different but complementary aspects of monastic life.
