A history of monastic foundations in East Anglia, from the middle AngloSaxon period to the Normans.Monastic studies usually focus upon the postConquest period; here, in valuable contrast, the focus is on preConquest monastic foundations, in the presentday counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. 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 seventhcentury Conversion. By integrating archaeological and historical sources, Dr Pestell presents an indepth 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 betterevidenced postConquest monastic landscape was typically structured by its AngloSaxon past.Dr TIM PESTELL is Curator of Archaeology at Norwich Castle Museum.
