	Margam Abbey - A Brief History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		It is extremely fortunate that Margam shares this distinction with Holme Cultram and Abbey Dore, for the present church constitutes the major portion of the former monastic nave.
		The home of the monks was virtually the cloister, an open rectangular court which roughly corresponds with the space between the south side of the church and the eighteenth century orangery.
		The original monastic church must have been of noble proportions, for it included the parish church and extended eastwards of the present east wall to an overall length of 262 feet, so that it was much longer than its sister churches at Tintern and Neath.

	Bookreporter.com - MILCH COW by Kate Margam
		There is so much potential significance attached to Margam's central plotline --- a family torn apart by unimaginable tragedy struggling to find a way to reunite --- what with all the added sociopolitical undercurrents streaming throughout the story, you can't help but feel its emotional depth isn't being fully plumbed.
		If she were one of Margam's children, it would be readily apparent that Sylvia was the favorite, as the process through which she works through her grief is infinitely more compelling than that of any other character.
		But while Margam's prose is generally quite deft, MILCH COW's fusion of the personal and the political doesn't quite strike that perfect balance.
