Monasteries in the Landscape
by Michael Aston
This new paperback is a revised, rewritten and extensively updated edition of Mick Aston's 1993 book `Monasteries' (long since out of print) which focused on the place of the monasteries in the British landscape. In this new book he explains how and why monasticism developed in Britain and why monasteries were placed where they were. The book looks beyond the closed world of the monastery, abbey or priory, to examine their agricultural, industrial and commerical activities that had a huge impact on the surrounding countryside and towns. 223p, 112 b/w illus, 30 col pls (Tempus 2000)
