Description
Parish churches played a central role in English religious and social life from the Anglo-Saxons to the mid-sixteenth century. This comprehensive study explores how they came into existence, who staffed them, and how their buildings were used.
Nicholas Orme examines who attended church, who did not, and how people behaved during services. He also explains how the daily and weekly services were conducted, and how churches marked important seasons and events, such as birth, coming of age, and marriage. The book provides an accessible account of the daily life of parish churches, from the comfort they offered in sickness and death to the changes that occurred during the English Reformation.
