Founded by King Alfred the Great in or around 888, the Benedictine Abbey of St Mary and St Edward at Shaftesbury was the wealthiest and most important nunnery of its order in England until its suppression by Henry VIII in 1539. Continuing the elitist traditions of its pre-Conquest origins, it remained largely the spiritual preserve of what today would be designated the upper and middle classes of society throughout the Middle Ages. Its abbesses, increasingly drawn from families of the local gentry by the late fourteenth century, enjoyed the same status as feudal barons with similar privileges and responsibilities, overseeing the foundation's large complement of nuns and its extensive estates mainly in Dorset and Wiltshire. This work gives a history of the abbey and its nuns from Anglo-Saxon times, with accounts of the abbesses and their manner of appointment in accordance with royal patronage and prerogative. An appendix contains a chronological list of known nuns, in particular the abbesses, with biographical information where available, from the convent's origins in the late ninth century until its closure and destruction around six hundred and fifty years later. This study has for its focus the lives and identities of the nuns themselves, rather than the abbey as a prominent and privileged royal institution.

William Smith grew up in a cult. He and others suffered sexual, verbal and mental abuse at the hands of the cult members. He dedicates this book to the children who were, and still are, victims of cults. It is especially dedicated those who now travel the same path of abuse and misery that his companions and he did on a daily basis. This book includes many stories of the abuses and cruelty the author endured as a member of the cult he grew up in. The names have been changed to protect both the innocent and the not-so-innocent. It is the author's hope that this book will give comfort to the broken-hearted, offer hope to the hopeless and give strength, courage and faith to you so that you may conquer your own battles of despair, sorry and anxiety. There is hope.
