The Cistercians aimed for self sufficiency through farming. They believed that too much reliance on patronage had undermined the Benedictines so they looked for isolated sites like Inch Abbey on the banks of the river Quoile. While they criticised other orders for employing 'serfs' to manage the land they still employed a two tier system within the order themselves. Choir monks attended services seven times a day and devoted time to meditation and study, while the lay brothers or 'conversi' were expected to work the fields, clean and cook attending two religious services a day. Both sets of monks took holy orders but the lay brothers lodged separately from the choir monks in Grey Abbey, their cells located in the western range of the cloister and worshipping only in the nave of the church.
