This book explores the rich and eventful history of Sherborne, from its origins as a Saxon settlement in the 8th century to the dissolution of the monastery in the 16th century. The author traces the town's development, focusing on the key role played by the Benedictine abbey, founded in 998. Through a meticulous examination of historical records, the book delves into the abbey's architectural splendour, its economic and political influence, and the lives of its abbots and monks. The book also sheds light on the relationship between the abbey and the surrounding community, including the occasional conflicts that arose. This fascinating account not only unveils Sherborne's past but also illuminates the broader history of medieval England and the profound impact of religious institutions during that era.
