By combining archaeological evidence with established documentary sources, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the Dissolution's impact on the social and physical landscape of England and Wales. The book explores both the immediate and long-term consequences of the Dissolution, including the devastating effects on religious property and the dispersal of monastic lands, as well as the creation of new economic opportunities and the preservation of medieval Christian heritage through its monuments and archaeological sites.
