Confinscated all their books, and feligous relics. Some were burned to the ground and their property was added to the king of england and supreme head of the churchs royal library. Their priests were allowed to live but had to take an oath stating that king henry the 8th was supreme head of the church. As did all citizens of england did during this transition of religous power from church to the king.

How did Thomas Cromwell close down monasteries?
Because he wanted the money because he had fought many expensive wars and didn't have very much money left 1.Religion- when Henry was a catholic, the pope didn't believe in divorce, and of course this was a problem for Henry, so he made the church of England. He might of not liked the monks (as they were catholic) so he shut them down. 2.Economics- as Henry fought many expensive wars, he had no money left, so by shutting down the monastries, he gained lots of land and property which resulted in lots of money. 3.The monks- the monks weren't being true to their religion, they are supposed to live a solitary life on their own. However they were caught sleeping with women wearing no clothes, others had wives and children and others were even theives! So Henry had even more reason to shut them down.
