The original abbey built in the 12th century was approximately one and a half times the size that remains. The 14th century additions made the footprint twice that of today; the spire must have soared into the sky. To the north lay the cloisters and all around would be other buildings, dwellings, stores, workshops - a whole complex of religious activity. What an achievement with the limited resources of Saxon and mediaeval England.
