Fore-Edge Painting
Vol I. Basingwerk Monastery.
Ranulf de Gernon was earl of Chester from 1129-1153. He offered Basingwerk to monks of the Norman abbey of Savigny, which enjoyed a briefly fashionable status in Norman Britain. The first monks from Savigny probably lived within the protective confines of a nearby Norman fortress known as Hen Blas.
The Savigniac order merged with the Cistercian order in 1147 and then a decade later the abbey was granted to Buildwas Abbey in Shropshire. In that same year, Henry II effectively re-founded the abbey, around the time the monks moved from Hen Blas to Basingwerk, at what is now called Greenfield.
Vol II. Conway Castle.
The site was occupied by a Cistercian monastery favoured by the Welsh princes, as well as the location of one of the palaces (called llys) of the Welsh princes. From Conwy: "the oldest structure is part of the town walls, now all incorporating the still standing Conway Castle.
