The Ruined Abbeys Of Great Britain

By Ralph Adams Cram

Book Overview

The Ruined Abbeys Of Great Britain is a comprehensive guidebook written by Ralph Adams Cram that explores the history and architecture of the many ruined abbeys scattered throughout the United Kingdom. The book is divided into chapters that focus on specific regions, including England, Scotland, and Wales, and provides detailed descriptions of each abbey's history, construction, and eventual decline. Cram also includes numerous illustrations and photographs that highlight the beauty and grandeur of these once-great structures.
