The Lay Brothers' Infirmary
A hospital both for the lay brothers and for local people. |
One of the monks's duties was care of the sick. In their libraries, they collected and added to medical knowledge. |
Abbeys usually had a herb garden in which medicinal plants were grown. |
 Where did the monks get the idea that they should care for the sick? |
