Brother William is a medieval monk and gardener at Westminster Abbey. Here is a month-by-month diary describing everyday life and work at the Abbey—from a giant Good Friday hot cross bun to marbles in the Cloisters, from treading grapes and drinking mulled wine to Midnight Mass at Christmas. With recipes, an introduction and a note on Benedictine life, Brother William's year is portrayed with warmth and humour by Westminster Abbey's very own Head Gardener.
