Remains of the Chapter House in the Cistercian Abbey at Roche, South Yorkshire, England.  This was the administrative and disciplinary centre of the abbey where the community met each day. Chapters were read from the Rule of St Benedict and sometimes a sermon was preached. The building was designed with ranked benching around the room, to allow the monks to take part in the discussions, led by the abbot, about the economic and administrative business of the community as well as receive punishment for infringements of the communities rules.
