This review is from: Life in a Medieval Abbey (English Heritage) (Hardcover)
Ostensibly a children's book, this detailed and richly illustrated volume is plenty fine for adults as well. It consists of four sections: "Daily Life", "The Origins of Monastic Life", "Monasteries in the Medieval World" (covering business affairs, farms, alms, shrines, etc.), and the "Decline and Fall". I found it to be exactly what I needed as regards the daily goings on in a medieval monastery and it gave me a much better appreciation for the role these institutions played in the civilization of their time.
