Kirkstall Abbey
During the Middle Ages this room would have most probably been used for training monks or novices.
Many novices would have been young men of noble birth, they did however have to carry out the same work as the monks. After a year they would take their vows and become choir monks.
The sleeping quarters for the choir monks would have been on the first floor above the columns.
The columns, arches and vaulting survived for many years following the closure of the abbey, they were used as animal shelters by the local farmers.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

British and French paratroopers are showing their readiness to deploy together on joint operations.
Across two demanding weeks in November, south west France saw Exercise Falcon Amarante testing the Airborne Combined Joint Expeditionary Force (A-CJEF) – a partnership between 16 Air Assault Brigade and 11e Brigade Parachutiste.
The two brigades provide the airborne rapid reaction forces for their respective armies, and the A-CJEF has been trained and ready since 2013 to deploy on short-notice operations ranging from war fighting to disaster relief.
Exercise Falcon Amarante is the A-CJEF’s annual test exercise, taking place in 2018 under 11e BP’s command. Some 650 British troops and 170 vehicles of the 3 PARA Battlegroup - built around the airborne infantry of 3rd Battalion the Parachute Regiment bolstered by artillery, engineers, medics, signallers and logisticians took part.
British troops were paired with the 3e Regiment de Parachutistes d’Infanterie de Marine as the A-CJEF, with US paratroopers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade working alongside it.
After mission planning and reconnaissance, the exercises started in earnest with some 600 British, French and US paratroopers jumping onto the Caylus training area near Toulouse. From there, a series of simulated missions tested the skills and capabilities of the 2,000-strong force.

They set it on fire then put it out.
And wow it's hot when they set it on fire.
