Synopsis:
The gripping story of how monasteries were swept away and their buildings adapted to secular use after the English Reformation.
Five short years after Henry VIII’s break with Rome, his chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, masterminded the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It was one of the most dramatic and fast-paced upheavals of the social and architectural fabric in the history of the British Isles. Monks and nuns were expelled and orders went out for the deserted monasteries to be dismantled, their churches demolished, and their sites transformed into architectural salvage yards. Out of the scarred remains of these vast complexes, there arose many magnificent new houses, created by men who seized this brief opportunity. Some of these, such as Titchfield Abbey in Hampshire, were adapted from the monastic buildings, while others, like Syon House in Middlesex, were built afresh upon the sites of destruction. Others have disappeared completely and are known only from evocative watercolors by topographical artists. This richly illustrated book gives a wide-ranging insight into a fleeting moment in this country’s architectural history, representing a period of great change and subsequent rebirth.

Monks and nuns were expelled, and orders went out for the deserted monasteries to be dismantled, their churches to be demolished, the lead from roofs to be melted down and sold and their sites transformed into architectural salvage yards.Some surviving buildings became cathedrals, or colleges at the universities, while others were left to fall into ruin.
