Description: Definitive history of the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds during a crucial period in its history.
Review Quotes: There is much to admire.There are, for example, fascinating details on such topics as bells and bell-ringing; the monks'employment of minstrels, water clocks, windmills and ruby rings; the cult and profits of the Bury saints; the problems that arose from allowing Cistercians to legislate on the diet of unreformed Benedictine monks; and a whole host of other such things. No one knows the Bury source materials better than Gransden. Few people have done more to broadcast their significance.-- "CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW"
