who were the actual builders of the battle abbey? villagers, monks...? Who was the architect? was he the former abbot?

battle abbey was built at the place where the battle of hastings has been fought. The abbey was built on orders of William the conqueror (before he begun the invasion he had promised to built an abbey when the invasion would luck). the altar of the church is placed on the place where harold was believed to been killed.
