Patterns of Re-use: The transformation of former monastic buildings in post-Dissolution Hertfordshire, 1540-1600

Product Description Doggett's dissertation on the re-use and adaptation of monastic buildings in Hertfordshire is based on a systematic analysis of each building that survived until the Dissolution and an examination of contemporary and antiquarian records. His meticulous scrutiny of the surviving architectural remains of thirteen buildings shows that the trend for transforming monasteries into high-status country houses declined after 1600.
