medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I found the Time Team programme on Syon Abbey particularly interesting
precisely because it offered a visualisation of the building (if based on
guess work as well as archaeology). I think Cate is right to observe that
the physical evidence of the sheer size of the building is important for
understanding the significance of the Bridgettines.
The computer mock-up which Laura found strange was based on the chapels of
Henry VI's other "power statements", King's and Eton Colleges.
I would have liked Mr. Robinson and his team to talk more about the
internationally important library at Syon, but I guess it doesn't make for
popular tv!

I only caught bits of the programme as it came at an awkward time, but
thanks for alerting us to it. The end of the programme directed us to its
website (which I haven't looked at) but which colleagues outside the UK
might be interested in (try Channel 4, Time Team to find it as I can't
remember the address). The computer mock-up of the Abbey looked like
nothing on earth to me, but presumably this is because they had to give
viewers some kind of elevation to visualise.

Have just watched this and found it fascinating. The physical evidence of
the size of the church is surely important for understanding the religious
and political significance of the Bridgettine movement.
