Westminster Abbey Reformed

Westminster Abbey, a cornerstone of the UK's religious and royal heritage, underwent significant institutional reform during the Protestant Reformation to transition from a monastery to a collegiate church. This study reveals how its corporate structure evolved over the first century post-reformation, shedding light on internal dynamics, its relationship with the Crown, and local significance. Leveraging new research, including previously unseen archives, the authors uncover the roles of key personalities in shaping this transformation.
