Historians have long known that Lancashire remained more solidly
Catholic after the Reformation than any other part of England, but
the peculiarity of the area has never been explained. This book
argues that for geographical, social and economic, as well as
religious reasons, orthodox Catholicism in the county was at its
high-point immediately before the Reformation, so that the history
of religious change in Lancashire in the sixteenth century is not
the conventional one of Protestant triumph and Catholic failure.
The Henrician Reformation was met by resistance and rebellion,
while the Edwardian reforms were inadequately enforced and made
little impact, though a handful of radical preachers made a few
gains in one corner of the county. The Marian regime was able to
revitalize the old religion, and the Elizabethan Settlement
encountered widespread opposition. Catholic practices could not be
excluded from the established Church, and Catholic recusancy
developed earlier and on a wider scale than in any other area of
England.
