Bernard of Clairvaux has proved himself an effective spokesman for the Cistercian reform movement throughout Europe: by 1151 over three hundred monasteries stand, with more than eleven thousand Cistercian monks and nuns.

Construction begins on the Cistercian’s Kirkstall Abbey on the outskirts of Leeds, Yorkshire; it will take seventy-five years to complete.
