Spiritual practice and the designed landscape: monastic precinct gardens1
Agnes Paston's news of the unfortunate demise of Sir John Hevingham in 1453 provides a fascinating insight into the part played by medieval gardens in secular devotion: where church and garden share pride of place as locations suitable for acts of personal piety. It opens up a riveting subject that has been vastly overshadowed by the role of the monumental places of worship: cathedral, parish church or chapel. The scarcity of information relating to gardens in such a capacity hampers most attempts to redress the balance, but the medieval archive of Norwich Cathedral Priory forms an exceptionally rich source for many subjects, not least that of gardens. One therefore turns from the ‘lytyll deuocion’ of Sir John Hevingham to the role of the garden in monastic spiritual practice.
