Cromwell's agents seized monastic properties, including church lands, buildings, and valuable assets, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries from 1536 to 1540. This was done under King Henry VIII's authority to strengthen the crown's finances and decrease the Church's power. The properties were repurposed or redistributed among loyal supporters of the king, reshaping English society and governance significantly.
