Monasteries in the Landscape

This book examines the place of monasteries in the landscape and explains how monasticism arrived in Britain. It looks at why abbeys and priories were built where they were as well as all aspects of the activities undertaken within them. Following their decline this book also discusses how many of their estates and buildings were bought by private owners and adapted for secular use. Suitable for students or amateur historians and archaeologists. Illustrated paperback book by Michael Aston from channel 4's 'Time Team'.
