Daughter Houses of Merton Priory

Daughter Houses of Merton Priory

by Lionel Green

Profusely illustrated with plans, photographs, drawings and tables, the book traces the spread of Merton's influence in England, Scotland and Normandy, through the setting up Augustinian communities at Taunton, Plympton, Canterbury, Bodmin, Edinburgh, Cirencester, St Lô, Dover and Christchurch within 33 years of the foundation of Merton Priory beside the Wandle.

Lionel has been studying all aspects of Merton Priory for over 50 years, and shares some of the results of his studies in this excellent book.
