What happened to the monks, their orders and the communities they served after Henry VIII’s break with Rome in 1536? In ‘The Last Office’, Geoffrey Moorhouse reveals how the Dissolution of the Monasteries affected the great Benedictine priory at Durham, drawing for his sources on material that has lain forgotten in the recesses of one of our great cathedrals.
Here the practical aspects of the birth of the Church of England and the effects on the communities they served are shown in an original and absorbing study of one of the great catalytic events of our past.
