[Mr. D. Bryant]

It's usually worth doing a forum search:

However, as your question is more specific than just the Dissolution I will give you some pointers. There are good introductions here:

and here:

There are some very interesting, but detailed, articles on the Reformation as a whole on the BBC History website:

However, for your question, how did the Dissolution affect people, Mr. Clare has identified the best place:

Make sure you look at both pages of the last one. Good Luck.

Think: What did the monasteries do for the local people while they were open ?

If you know what the monasteries done, if they close down the local people would loose all the services that the Monasteries helped the locals with.
