South-east corner of Chapter House #TinternAbbey

With blocked arch. Once connecting the chapter house to vestry and lectorium, perhaps? #HeidiAtTintern #TinternChapterHouse (4/4)

North-east corner of Chapter House #TinternAbbey

The shape of the corbel at the top of these once clustered columns (along with the stumps of columns down the centre) gives the merest hint of a vaulted roof that once spanned this space #HeidiAtTintern #TinternChapterHouse (3/4)

North-east corner of Chapter House #TinternAbbey

Low stone seating for the monks. Here they would listen to a reading of The Rules, the day's news and a 'chapter' of scripture #HeidiAtTintern #TinternChapterHouse (2/4)

Entrance to Chapter House from cloister #TinternAbbey

The remains of slender clustered columns suggest that the Chapter House was in its time a well decorated building. It opened onto the covered arcade of the cloister #HeidiAtTintern #TinternCloister #TinternChapterHouse (1/4)
