Roche Abbey October 2008

I try to imagine the preparation, planning and the care displayed in creating Roche Abbey. Each task being the building of the Abbey through pure physical energy of those involved from the setting of the first stone to the last. One has to respect and admire that in the 12th Century with little in the type of tools and equipment this building was no mean feat. Even today it gives pleasure to those who care to look closely at the workmanship.
