London's Ancient Abbeys and Religious Orders

Minute 45 I made a mistake. Mary ruled of course before Elizabeth!

This time we're exploring a history of London's ancient abbeys and religious orders, going back over 1000 years, with many with interesting and surprising legacies continuing to this day.

We'll be looking at a whole range of old religious sites and institutions; ancient abbey and monastery ruins holding centuries of monastic lives and prayers, the wide-ranging worlds of the Knights Hospitaller and Knights Templar, smaller communities of Benedictine, Carthusian and Cistercian monks and nuns, and more.

I'll be exploring both their individual histories and contemporary cultures, but also how they originated and how they fit in to the context of the medieval and modern worlds around them.
