Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
While it seems reasonable to assume that some form of plan was produced before work on the construction of the abbey began in the 12th century, certain problems arise when trying to establish the architect's intentions concerning the overall layout of the monastery. Without documentary evidence it is difficult to be certain which points the architects considered significant. There are difficulties inherent in any speculation on the length of the original units used in a particular building; at Jedburgh investigations were also hampered by the fragmentary state of the surviving structures. Nevertheless, an examination of the principal dimensions of Jedburgh Abbey, as revealed by the recent excavations, strongly suggests that a geometric grid, based on a unit of 5'6', and the limited application of a system of proportions were used to lay out the church and conventual buildings. | ||
