Description: A history of monasteries in Staffordshire and its surrounding areas with examples of artifacts.
"Staffordshire Monasticism AND ITS BORDERLANDS IN SHROPSHIRE, CHESHIRE AND DERBYSHIRE Christianity may have first appeared in this region at an early date, it was only with the establishment of the Saxon abbey at Repton that monasticism flourished temporarily. The monastery, although not the pilgrim cult of Saint Wystan, was snuffed out by the Viking invasions. Monasticism only returned in the eleventh century when Benedictine monks from southern England came to live at Burton, and French monks at Lapley. Although William the Conqueror devastated Staffordshire, these monasteries benefited from the Norman Conquest.
