Reading edition
The building of the church is affirmed in the Charter (iv. 155); “In præscripto loco monasterium ad laudem Domini nostri Jesu Christi et sanctæ Crucis construxit ... fundatum ... monasterium ... dedicari fecit.” So De Inv. 16; “Venusto enim admodum opere a fundamentis constructam [ecclesiam].” The romantic Biographer (p. 161) is much fuller in his description. On the application of the word “monasterium” to a secular church, see vol. i. p. 472.
