The construction of a church was undoubtedly one of the most
demanding events to take place in the life of a medieval parish. It
required a huge outlay of time, money and labour, and often a new
organisational structure to oversee design and management. Who took
control and who provided the financing was deeply shaped by local
patterns in wealth, authority and institutional development - from
small villages with little formal government to settlements with
highly unequal populations. This all took place during a period of
great economic and social change as communities managed the impact
of the Black Death, the end of serfdom and the slump of the
mid-fifteenth century. This original and authoritative study
provides an account of how economic change, local politics and
architecture combined in late-medieval England. It will be of
interest to researchers of medieval, socio-economic and art
history.
