Henry the 8th closed down the monasteries because he wanted more people to come to his church. He wanted to be in full control. He sent round his friend to go round all the monasteries and see if there is any rules they have broken and tell him if the bad or good news but he didn't want to tell him the bad news. If he did Henry Will be so mad he would kill him so he said they all broke the rules and if they didn't he would go back and dig to see if they had.
Henry's friend went round to Peter borough Abbey and they didn't want to close down they bribed Henry with Thousands of Pound's and Henry excepted. That is why Peter borough Abbey survived.

∙ 10y agoBetween 1536 and 1541 A.D., King Henry VIII of England disbanded all the monasteries, priories, convents, and friaries in England, Wales, and Ireland. from Wikipedia:
The Dissolution of the Monasteries, sometimes referred to as the Suppression of the Monasteries, was the set of administrative and legal processes between 1536 and 1541 by which Henry VIII disbanded monasteries, priories, convents and friaries in England, Wales and Ireland, appropriated their income, disposed of their assets, and provided for their former members and functions. He was given the authority to do this in England and Wales by the Act of Supremacy, passed by Parliament in 1534, which made him Supreme Head of the Church in England, thus separating England from Papal authority, and by the First Suppression Act (1536) and the Second Suppression Act (1539).

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.
