The Abbey of St. Albans from 1300 to the dissolution of the monasteries

Note 44 — I. The Revival within the Abbey during the 14th Century.

Reading edition

The same epoch left its impress upon the Abbey fabric. Much of it was rebuilt by Abbot Thomas, though unfortunately lapse of time and the restoration by Lord Grimthorpe’s munificence have left little except the great Abbey gateway. Some stained glass, wall-paintings and a rood screen of this date still remain, and in Abbot Whethamstede’s chapel there is a beautiful brass of De la Mare.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
