The article examines the history and structure of the dormitory within the monastic complex of Norwich Cathedral, which was originally founded by Bishop Herbert de Losinga in the late 11th century. Sayers discusses the construction of the monastery, which was completed in 1101, and its role in housing Benedictine monks who served the cathedral. The article contains details regarding the foundation and development of the monastery alongside the cathedral, the architectural features of the dormitory and its historical significance, and the movement of monks from the Priory of St. Leonard to the newly established monastery. Sayers also examines records and accounts detailing the monastic life within the dormitory, offering insights into the daily routines and religious practices of the monks. His research contributes to the broader understanding of medieval monasticism and the role of cathedral-monasteries in England. 4 pages.
