While the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1530s resulted in
the destruction of much of England's built fabric, it was also a
time in which many new initiatives emerged. In the following
century, former monasteries were eventually adapted to a variety of
uses: royal palaces and country houses, town halls and schools,
almshouses and re-fashioned parish churches. In this beautiful and
elegantly argued book, Maurice Howard reveals that changes of style
in architecture emerged from the practical needs of construction
and the self-image of major patrons in the revolutionary century
between Reformation and Civil War. Published for the Paul Mellon
Centre for Studies in British Art
