The Last Divine Office: Henry Viii and the Dissolution of the Monasteries Geoffrey Moorhouse Reprint edition

The Last Divine Office explores the enormous upheaval caused by the English Reformation, drawing for his sources on material that has lain forgotten in one of the world?s great cathedrals. He recreates in vivid detail what life was like in a major monastery before the Dissolution began in 1536, and how that life was forever transformed on the orders of King Henry VIII.
