This volume presents the surveys and valuations of all the monastic lands in Devon which were disposed of by the Crown after the dissolution of the monasteries, a redistribution of land which had major social and economic implications. It is a valuable source for historians of society and economy in the sixteenth century and includes a detailed introduction by the editor, a leading expert in the history of Devon.
