Is there a list of people to whom Henry VIII granted monastic lands after the Suppression of Religious Houses Act 1535?

by goodpisces

I’m writing a research paper for class about the formation, structure, and evolution of Britain’s landed class. A large section of the paper deals with the increase in the number of landholders after 1535. I thought it important to include a number of people and families that benefited from the suppression of monasteries. Is there a list or resource for such information? Thank you in advice for any and all responses!
