Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This essay examines Cumbrian monasticism in the last decades of its existence, and is centred upon the 12 religious houses, ten housing men and two women, which once stood in Cumberland,Westmorland, and Lancashire North of the Sands. All have previously been studied individually. What follows is offered as an attempt at synthesis, one primarily concerned with monastic practice, as it was conducted in particular communities living in accordance with long-established rules and routines, while also surveying it within a wider, regional, context, within which they can be seen to have adopted forms of lifestyle with many parallels in the secular world. It concludes with some reflections on the aftermath of the suppression of the monasteries, in the hope that an examination of the gaps, physical and spiritual, which were left by the disappearance of the religious houses, may shed some retrospective light on the monasteries themselves, while also illuminating the subsequent development of the society of which they had long formed part.
