Synopsis

Exploring Tavistock’s quiet throne in English history The Abbots of Tavistock offers a compact, readable journey through the town’s medieval abbey, its leaders, and the wider world it touched.

This is a carefully researched history that uses stones, parish records, and documentary sources to illuminate Tavistock’s earliest days and its later life. The book moves from the earliest inscribed stones to the great events that shaped the abbey and the surrounding community, weaving local detail with broader English history.

- Learn how archaeology and inscriptions tell the story of Tavistock before written records.
- Follow the abbots, from early foundations through the Dissolution, and see how they shaped land, law, and local life.
- Discover the social fabric of the parish, including guilds, schools, and daily life around the abbey.
- Explore supplementary material, appendices, and source notes that anchor the history in real documents.

Ideal for readers of local history, medieval England, and Tavistock enthusiasts seeking a clear, accessible account of the abbey’s long influence.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
