The Barnwell Priory

A 48-pg photographic monograph showing Cambridge’s 13th century Cellarer’s Chequer and Abbey Church – the only two remaining buildings from the 13th century Barnwell Priory.

Once a great priory of medieval England, the present-day remains of the Barnwell Priory sit unused and forgotten in a little corner of the otherwise-famous city of Cambridge. Photographer Sara Rawlinson rediscovers these buildings, uses the old Chequer for an Open Studio, and begins the long process of breathing life back into these long-forgotten buildings.
