Abstract | This session will look at how monastic space, place, and landscape were inter-connecting influences on the lives of religious and secular communities. The papers will consider interpretations and use of monastic spaces as: a separate space impacting the secular community, a place under siege by secular disruption and a space shared by both religious and secular communities. The social, material, and economic impacts of monastic space and place had both short-term and long-term consequences for the monastic and secular landscapes. |
