Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an historical account of Finchale Priory, the famed Benedictine monastery in Durham, that provides a captivating insight into the lives and contributions of the medieval monks who resided there. Their influence was extensive, contributing to artistic achievement, educational pursuits, and the maintenance of order in a period of frequent strife. Finchale Priory was founded in the late twelfth century, initially as a hermitage for Saint Godric, who lived there for sixty years in the early years of its existence. The book provides remarkable detail on Saint Godric's ascetic lifestyle, including his various visions and miracles. In time, Finchale was expanded into a priory, under the patronage and support of several notable figures, including Henry II and Bishop Hugh de Puiset. Throughout the book's captivating narrative, the author draws upon monastic records, such as account rolls and charters, to shed light on the priory's day-to-day operations, revealing the monks' role in sustaining the surrounding community through alms and their economic influence on the region. Moreover, it examines the priory's architectural evolution, particularly the construction of a larger church in the mid-thirteenth century, showcasing the monks' dedication to enhancing the grandeur of their sacred space.
