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.

Tank washing facility at the former Belgian training area at the Wahner Heide, Germany.
The Wahner Heide is a heath in the east of Cologne, shaped by agriculture and forestry since the middle ages. Military use began in 1817, when the Prussian Army established a training area and artillery range ("Schießplatz Wahn") in the newly formed Prussian province on the Rhine.
Throughout the 19th and early 20th century, the training area was expanded. Besides training, the area repeatedly housed POW-Camps (in the Franco-Prussian War, as well as both World Wars) and by 1913, an airfield. Military presence in Wahn ceased after the post-WWI occupation but was reactivated by the Wehrmacht in 1936. The airbase, established during the "Third Reich", was later used by the Royal Air Force and became Köln/Bonn Airport.
After brief use by the US and British Army large parts of the Heide were transfered to the Belgian Forces in Germany which used it as training area and established the Kwartier Maj SBH-BEM Legrand and Kamp Koning Boudewijn.
After Belgian Forces withdrew from Germany in 2004, most military installations were demolished and the Wahner Heide was opened to the public. However, after decades of military use, leaving the ways is still prohibited due to the presence of unexploded ordnance.
The facility at the former Kwartier Maj SBH-BEM Legrand was used to clean tanks and other armoured vehicles coming from the training area. The vehicles would be driven onto concrete blocks, covered by steel fittings and cleaned with presure washers. The facility also included a hydrant and a concrete basin to collect the water, which has turned into a small pond, inabited by frogs, newts and various kinds of plants and insects.

Troops of the 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery load a 105mm Light Gun during Exercise Joint Warrior in Scotland.
The combined firepower force of Royal Navy warships and Royal Artillery mortars was ringing out over the Scottish Highlands as part of a two-day training exercise.
Around 200 Royal Marines from 42 Commando were landed several miles inshore of Cape Wrath by Chinook and Sea King to attack four target enemy positions as part of a scenario in which they launched a surprise attack on a hostile nation.
Supported by the 4.5 inch guns on HMS Diamond and HMS Westminster plus the 105mm light guns of 29 Commando Royal Artillery, the Marines took around three hours to push their way through the enemy to reach the shore.

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