Monasteries are among the most intriguing and enduring symbols of
England's medieval heritage. Simultaneously places of prayer and
spirituality, power and charity, learning and invention, illusion
and superstition, they survive today as haunting ruins, great
houses and as some of our most important cathedrals and churches.
This book examines the growth of monasticism and the different
orders of monks; the architecture and administration of
monasteries, the daily life of monks and nuns, the art of
monasteries and their libraries, their role in caring for the poor
and sick, their power and wealth, their decline and suppression,
their ruin and rescue.
Many of Britain's greatest churches, including Westminster Abbey,
Canterbury, Durham and Gloucester cathedrals were once monasteries.
So too were some of Britain's most evocative and awe-inspiring
ruins such as Fountain's Abbey in Yorkshire and Tintern Abbey in
Wales. This book tells the story of devotion, work and prayer
behind those magnificent edifices.
