A guide to over 60 of Britain's most notable abbeys and
monasteries. Taking you on a journey that has inspired pilgrims and
visitors for centuries, Abbeys and Priories of Britain is the
perfect introduction to some of the country's oldest and most
beautiful religious centres. The guide will take you from the wilds
of the Isle of Iona in Scotland and Iona Abbey to Tintern Abbey in
the beautiful Wye Valley in Wales, to the pomp and circumstance of
Westminster Abbey, shining regally in England's capital. While many
of the entries are now ruins due to Henry VIII's 'Dissolution of
the Monasteries' period, a visit still reveals the rich influence
and legacy they have had on Britain's history. Beautifully
illustrated with over 130 stunning colour images, and with concise
and accessible history for each entry, this is both a perfect guide
and a much-cherished souvenir of a visit. Includes extended entries
on Binham Priory, Blanchland Abbey, Buckfast Abbey, Dryburgh,
Fountains Abbey, Glastonbury Abbey, Hexham Abbey, Holyrood Abbey,
Jedburgh Abbey, Lindisfarne Priory, Melrose Abbey, Mountgrace
Priory, Rievaulx Abbey, Selby Abbey, Strata Florida Abbey,
Tewkesbury Abbey, Tintern Abbey, Westminster Abbey, Whitby Abbey
and St George's Windsor.
