| book description |

How did monks and nuns live, work and worship? A Medieval Monastery opens the doors to a self-contained community, charting the rise of Benedictine rules, the splendour of Cluny, the graft of craftsmen, the making of books, the importance of cleanliness, and the care given in monastic hospitals. Clear, engaging text sits alongside detailed cutaways, timelines and scene-by-scene spreads that cover food, farming, daily routines and later reform movements, as well as the spread of Christianity and pilgrimages across Europe. Ideal for project work and independent reading, this authoritative, visually led title makes the Middle Ages vivid, accessible and memorable for today's readers.
