  • Introductions to Heritage Assets: Hermitages
    Hermitages Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which have previously lacked such a published summary, either because the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. This IHA provides an introduction to hermitages (places which housed a religious individual or group seeking solitude and isolation). Six types of medieval hermitage have been identified based on their siting: island and fen; forest and hillside; cave; coast; highway and bridge; and town. Descriptions of solitary; cave; communal; chantry; and lighthouse hermitages; and town hermits and their development are included. Hermitages have a large number of possible associations and were fluid establishments, overlapping with hospices, hospitals, monasteries, nunneries, bridge and chantry chapels and monastic retreats. A list of in-depth sources on the topic is suggested for further reading. This document has been prepared by Kate Wilson and edited by Joe Flatman and Pete Herring. It is one of a series of 41 documents. This edition published by Historic England October 2018. All images © Historic England unless otherwise stated. Please refer to this document as: Historic England 2018 Hermitages: Introductions to Heritage Assets. Swindon. Historic England.
