The Cloister

Lapidarum Wall

A lovely spot to pause and imagine this grand colonnaded space at the heart of the Abbey, filled with the bustle of monks going about their tasks. Daily life in the Abbey involved work and study, was governed by a number of rules about what could and could not be done and arranged around eight masses (or prayer services).

Here’s your next clue for the Nave puzzle, but a mass is missing!

“Brother Thomas was seen either at Matins or…….”

 

If Matins=1 and Compline = 8 can you go by the numbers and work out the name of the missing mass?
(None + Sext) – Terce = ?

 

If you’d rather stay in more earthly circles note the date King Henry got involved MINUS the number of the mass you just worked out!
