Lords and Peasants in a Changing Society is a history of the large
Church estate of Worcester from its foundation until the
Reformation, and is a full-length study of an estate centred in the
West Midlands. The medieval bishops of Worcester were landed
magnates with manors scattered over three counties, from the
outskirts of Bristol to north Worcestershire. This study uses the
plentiful records of the bishopric to define and explain long-term
social and economic changes in this section of the medieval
countryside. Attention is divided equally between the economy of
the lords and developments among the peasantry of the estate. In
dealing with the lords, consideration is given to the political and
social pressures that led to the increase and subsequent loss of
land in the estate during the early Middle Ages; the formulation of
management policies, particularly in the difficult years after the
setbacks of the fourteenth century; and the relationship between
income and expenditure.
