The book explores the dramatic transformation of Britain during the late 1530s when Henry VIII's dissolution of monasteries led to the rapid decline of a vibrant culture filled with saints and religious shrines. It highlights the profound impact of this upheaval on society, faith, and the landscape, illustrating how a rich spiritual heritage was dismantled almost overnight. Through historical analysis, the narrative sheds light on the cultural and religious shifts that defined this pivotal moment in British history.
