A book full of fun and interesting facts, where you can colour in the scenes. Then read and learn.
Monks and Nuns enjoyed a relatively secure life, tucked away in stunning abbeys, in some of the most beautiful areas in Britain. However, once Henry VIII decided that tey had too much wealth and power, their fate was sealed. Today, our ruined abbeys offer us a taste of what life was like living and working in a community dedicated to prayer and hard work.
Suitable for children and adults alike.
