The authors describe Rievaulx's remarkable architectural development from its early decades as home to a community of 650 men to its desertion after Henry VIII's Suppression. Fergusson and Harrison consider the buildings' context, architectural significance, iconography, and social and economic influences. Then, tracing the suppression of the monastery and changing perceptions of the ruin from the sixteenth through the twentieth centuries, the authors complete their portrait of the spectacular abbey and its meanings across time.
