The Heads of Religious Houses

This book is the continuation of Heads of Religious Houses: England and Wales 940-1216 edited by David Knowles C. N. L. Brooke and Vera London (1972). It continues the lists from 1216 to 1377 arranged by order: the Benedictine houses; the Cluniacs; the Grandmontines; the Cistercians; the Carthusians; the Augustinian canons; the Premonstratensians; the Gilbertine order; the Trinitarian houses; the Bonhommes; and the nuns. An introduction discusses the nature use and history of the lists and examines critically the sources on which they are based.
