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. 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. It was one of the most dramatic and fast-paced upheavals of the social and architectural fabric in the history of the British Isles.
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 Out of the scarred remains of these vast complexes, there arose many magnificent new houses, created by men who seized this brief opportunity.
