From Studium to Station : Rewley Abbey and Rewley Road Station, Oxford Paperback / softback
by Ric Tyler, Dave Wilkinson, Julian Munby, Andy Simmonds, Ric Taylor, David Wilkinson
Part of the Oxford Archaeology Occasional Paper series
Paperback / softback
Description
This report presents the results of over 40 years of excavation, historic building survey and documentary research that has been carried out by Oxford Archaeology and others at the site of the Cistercian house of Rewley, a chantry founded in 1280.
It became an abbey and stadium providing accommodation for monks studying at the university, and can therefore claim to be one of Oxford's earliest colleges.
The railway station that subsequently occupied the site in 1851 followed the design of the Crystal Palace, built for the Great Exhibition, and was the last surviving representative of that internationally important building.
