Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The ruined church of Jedburgh Abbey has long been acknowledged as one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in Scotland. However, it was only when the opportunity arose to thoroughly excavate the claustral ranges to the south of the church that direct evidence of the abbey's eventful history emerged. In unravelling the complex sequence of building, clearance, and conversion, new information was revealed regarding the everyday life of the community, from its colonisation to abandonment, as well as showing the abbey in a wider perspective. For the first time, the range and detail of the data retrieved during the excavation revealed the abbey in context '“ historically, socially and topographically. Evidence retrieved over a large area, and covering an extended period of history, was then synthesised within the broad phase of the abbey's construction, occupation and decline. In this chapter the historical background, geology and topography and the relationship of the abbey with the town are considered. | ||
