The church was divided into several sections. |
Women visiting the abbey were only allowed into the Galilee porch outside the west door. |
The west end of the nave was reserved for the Lay Brothers. |
There was a retro-choir, an area for monks too old to take an active part in the services. |
The whole of the east end of the church (the choir) was used by the monks alone. They spent between 7 and 10 hours here each day. |
