About This Item
Despite Henry VIII's decade of architectural destruction during the Dissolution,Britain has hundreds of surviving examples of monastic buildings,varying in size and scale from forlorn and crumbling fragments to the well-preserved majestic ruins of abbeys such as Fountains,Lindisfarne,Glastonbury and Tintern.In addition,some of Britain's finest churches and cathedrals are monastic in origin, exhibiting the stunning craftsmanship associated with Romanesque and early medieval religious architecture.
Complementing Derry Brabbs's superb photography,his text examines the history of the monastries: the great period of building in the 11th and 12th centuries; the Dissolution; the different monastic orders; and the abbeys,cathedrals and parish churches that once formed part of a monastic establishment.
'Abbeys and Monastries' celebrates the history,architecture and settings of Britain's monastic heritage,from the romance of vast medieval ruins to the grandeur of living cathedrals and abbeys.
