This book offers a new perspective to the current debate about
popular religious attitudes in Tudor England, laying particular
emphasis on the social and secular dimensions of parish life. The
argument focuses on the role of the laity and especially on the
office of churchwarden. It assesses the rising levels of parish
income, the importance of the social context for fund-raising
strategies, and the growing expenditure on priests, voluntary
activities and administrative duties. The final part discusses the
Reformation-related reduction in religious options and the
intensifying trend towards oligarchical parish regimes and official
local government responsibilities. Wherever possible, the English
situation is put into sharper focus by comparisons with local
ecclesiastical life on the Continent and appendices provide a
detailed financial analysis for a large number of parishes.
