Tim Pestell considers the place of the monastery in wider landscapes - topographical, social, economic and political. He observes that by 1215 the Diocese of Norwich contained about a tenth of all English monasteries, a remarkable richness of patronage was no suddenflush of enthusiasm, but a manifestation of religious devotion that had been evolving in East Anglia since the seventh-century Conversion. By integrating archaeological and historical sources, Dr Pestell presents an in-depth examination of where and how communal religious life developed in the region over half a millennium. In so doing, he demonstrates how the more visible and better-evidenced post-Conquest monastic landscape was typically structured by its Anglo-Saxon past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dr TIM PESTELL is Curator of Archaeology at Norwich Castle Museum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Pestell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843830620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843830627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.52w x 0.94d","brand":"Timothy Pestell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077584548095,"sku":"9781843830627","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0096917-4732-4e29-8624-55090077387b.jpg?v=1685470733","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/landscapes-of-monastic-foundation-tim-pestell-9781843830627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
