This book explores popular support for the Church of England during
a critical period, from the Stuart Restoration to the
mid-eighteenth century, when Churchmen perceived themselves to be
under attack from all sides. In many provincial parishes, the
clergy also found themselves in dispute with their congregations.
These incidents of dispute are the focus of a series of detailed
case studies, drawn from the diocese of Salisbury, which help to
bring the religion of the ordinary people to life, while placing
local tensions in their broader national context. The period
1660-1740 provides important clues to the long-term decline in the
popularity of the Church. Paradoxically, conflicts revealed not
anticlericalism but a widely shared social consensus supporting the
Anglican liturgy and clergy: the early eighteenth century witnessed
a revival. Nevertheless, a defensive clergy turned inwards and
proved too inflexible to respond to lay wishes for fuller
participation in worship.
