Review:

'The third and final - and much anticipated - volume of this indispensable reference work is to be welcomed. Professor David Smith has combed a vast range of manuscripts and printed sources to produce lists of all known superiors of religious houses in England and Wales between 1377 and the final Henrician dissolution of the 1530s. ... There is a wealth of rich detail here, and a reference tool of immense value.' The English Historical Review

Book Description:

This final volume of the Heads of Religious Houses: England and Wales series concludes a reference work covering six hundred years of monastic history. It takes the lists of monastic superiors from 1377 to the dissolution of the monastic houses ending in 1540.
