East elevation of #TinternLodgings #TinternAbbey

Typical C13 corbel either remarkably well preserved or shaft replaced. As with the Chapter House a tiny clue to a (probably) rather impressive vaulted ceiling. Archaeologists knew these were lodgings as someone had labelled them #HeidiAtTintern

You can see the keys for a vertical and several horizontal bars on these ancient windows. It's anybody's guess whether or when there was glazed. Mouse pretty certain that they were unglazed when first inserted #TinternAbbey #TinternLodgings #HeidiAtTintern #WindowsOnWednesday

Most of the novices of #TinternAbbey would be praying for glass. It's amazing how much weather can get through a splay window #TinternLodgings #WindowsOnWednesday #HeidiAtTintern

East elevation, novices' lodgings #TinternAbbey #TinternLodgings #WindowsOnWednesday

Perfect single pointed light with deep splay and circular rere. It's even a proper lancet. An example of the nexus where #ArtAndArchitectureMeet #HeidiAtTintern

North transept over Chapter House from novices' lodgings #TinternAbbey #TinternLodgings

The design of the Abbey portrays the division between monks, novices and laybrothers. Monks had a dorter (dormitory) above these lodgings, laybrothers in a range to the west #HeidiAtTintern
