Tintern Abbey the external buildings

The abbey had a wide range of buildings - the cloisters; monks cells; infirmary; kitchens; guest room; Abbots dweiing etc. All these were built to the north of the abbey church. It is still possible to see fireplaces in some rooms, the stone built kitchen cupboard and the layout of the buildings as a whole. The changes to the roof lines as the building developed can also be clearly seen.
