England's Abbeys - Monastic Buildings and Culture

For almost 1000 years, from the 7th century to the early 16th, there were monasteries in Britain. There were times of decline, for example during the Viking raids of the 9th century, and then there was the sudden and painful end, when Henry VIII closed all the monasteries in the 1530s. This book helps visitors understand these ruins better.
