The Cartulary of Beauchief Abbey, here published for the first time
with a full historical introduction and English summaries of all
the Latin and French charters, is an invaluable resource for the
study of relationships between a small community of regular canons
with a large outreach in the English Midlands in the late Middle
Ages. Over two hundred charters and a wide range of other sources
show in considerable and valuable detail how the canons of
Beauchief, although they belonged to a monastic order and led a
life of withdrawal from the world, nonetheless engaged successfully
with numerous benefactors in contributing, by active management of
properties and parishes, to the promotion of religious life in town
and country as well as to long-lasting developments in farming and
industry. This book underlines the increasing recognition of the
historical importance of regular canons in late medieval England.
