Buckfast is recorded in the Doomsday Book. The Abbey is taken over by Cistercian Order, who rebuild it, in stone, on the present site.
Building takes many years.
Wool is produced and exported from the abbey. I visits Buckfast, during a tour of important abbeys in the south west. An estimated 180 monks are living at Buckfast. The Black Death reaches Buckfast. Many monks die from the plague, and parts of abbey fall into disuse.
