Advantages: A Beautiful Place In A Lovely Setting Disadvantages: Mainly Just Ruins
Roche Abbey lies approximately 13 miles to the East of Sheffield and 9 miles to the West of Doncaster in Maltby Beck, in South Yorkshire. Although the Abbey is now in ruins it is a place that is well worth a visit if you are ever in the area, and though it was one of lesser known Cistercian Abbeys of its era it is nonetheless a very typical example of a 12th century Abbey.
THE HISTORY
Roche Abbey was built in 1147, it was a joint foundation by Richard de Busli, Lord of Maltby, and Richard Fitzturgis, Lord of Hooten, and was in this respect rather unusual.

Advantages: quick read Disadvantages: no good if you like a shocking detailed story
unloved- peter roche a true story of a stolen childhood
the story begins and ends with a photograph taken when i was two years old. finding it was like discovering that i really did exist after all. it was as if someone was saying, 'no, it wasn't all in your imagination, that childhood really did happen, and it happened to you.'

this book is very well writen and doesn't bore you too much with the details ...
