Description:

"What happened to the monks, their orders, and the communities they served after Henry VIII's breach with Rome in 1536? Here, in The Last Office, Geoffrey Moorhouse dwells on the aftermath of the Dissolution of the Monasteries, drawing for his sources on material that has lain forgotten in the recesses of one of our greatest cathedrals."--BOOK JACKET.
