    A unique study of medieval monastic life that for the first time integrates the results of modern archaeological investigation with conventional historical and architectural research. Norton Priory itself has been the subject of the largest campaign of excavation of any monastic house in Europe, and Dr. Greene's results and analysis are therefore of the widest interest.

    • Integrates the results of modern archaeological investigation with conventional historical and architectural research
    • The site of Norton Priory has been the subject of a large campaign of archaeological investigation
