This book unravels the secrets and workings of the English parish
and its effect on English society. There are 13,000 parishes in
England, each with its parish church, covering the country in a
network which gives identities to local communities. Two-thirds of
English parishes are ancient, probably a thousand years old;
one-third have been founded in the last 150 years, largely to meet
the enormously increased numbers of people in big towns. One of the
major themes of the book is the changing social status of the
clergy from medieval times. The author also looks at the future of
the parish, a long lasting survivor from another age that has done
so much to shape the special characteristics of English villages
and towns.
