Dr Janina Ramirez explores how monasteries evolved from a cult of
extreme isolation and self-deprivation into powerhouses of Anglo-Saxon art, industry and learning.

Part 1
19 Feb 2015
Janina begins her journey on the desolate rock of Skellig St Michael off the east coast of Ireland,
home to the oldest surviving monastery in the British Isles. She investigates the harsh lives led by these early monks,
and tells the story of the arrival of hermetic Irish monasticism in Anglo-Saxon Northumberland. Monasteries such as
Lindisfarne and Whitby became beacons of civilisation and literature in the barbaric Anglo-Saxon world, creating
wondrous works of art including the Lindisfarne Gospels and St Cuthbert's pectoral cross.

A rival form of
regimented, communal monasticism was imported into southern Britain from Rome, and Janina reveals the holy struggle that
ensued between these two opposing monastic ideals. The victors would transform the culture and landscape of England,
until they too were destroyed by a new wave of barbarian invaders.

Part 2
26 Feb 2015
The golden
age of the British monastery was during the medieval period, when monks transformed British society and rose to a
position of immense power. Fighting back after centuries of defeat and neglect, a wave of new monasteries spread across
the nation, with over 500 British monastic houses established by the 14th century. Far from the inward-looking recluses
of legend, monks were exceptionally creative, and became pioneers in the fields of medicine, science, scholarship,
industry, farming, art and music. They didn't turn their back on the medieval world, but helped transform it.

Yet as the monasteries mingled with the world outside their cloisters they began to take on its corruption. They had
begun with a vow of poverty, but eventually came to own a third of the nation's land. This wealth, combined with the
sins of individual monks, sealed their fate, and as the medieval period ended the monks were on the brink of a
catastrophic and total collapse.

From Viking-ravaged Lindisfarne to the astonishing achievements of Durham
and Peterborough cathedrals (both built for monks), from cutting-edge hospitals to the rediscovery of the oldest
collection of two-part music in the world, this is a story of astonishing success and spectacular artistic achievement
that proved too good to last.

Part 3
5 March 2015
In the final episode of the series, Dr Janina
Ramirez discovers how the immensely rich and powerful monasteries, that had dominated British society for a thousand
years, were annihilated in less than five years.

In the 15th century, eight hundred monasteries in England
owned one third of the nation's land. Many monks were living in palatial monasteries and were patrons of the finest art
and architecture. Janina examines monastery kitchen records and the bones of a medieval monk to discover the truth
behind accusations of monastic gluttony and vice. She also explores how the arrival of the printing press put paid to
the monasteries' monopoly of publishing and education.

Janina then traces the story of the dissolution of the
monasteries under Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell. She explores whether the dissolution was the violent action of a
greedy and overbearing monarch or if it was the inevitable 'end of days' for a rotten and outmoded institution.

She uncovers stories of shocking corruption alongside examples of extraordinary pious sacrifice. Although not a single
monastery survived the systematic liquidation, Janina shows the lasting impact Britain's millennium of monasteries had
on our society and culture.
