This study, first published in 1989, examines the social
relationships and moral standards within the diocese of Chester
throughout the seventeenth century. Using Church Court records as
his main body of evidence, John Addy examines over 10 000 cases of
moral offences, including fornication, brawling in church,
drunkenness, adultery and concubinage, to form a picture of the
moral conduct of the Stuart laity and clergy. One of the main
methods by which the Church attempted to enforce strict moral
standards, the records arising from the ecclesiastical courts
reveal that those codes of conduct once applied to a medieval
Catholic society were increasingly being shunned by a society with
expanding capitalist attitudes. An important contribution to the
historiography of early modern English society, this title will be
of great value to undergraduate and postgraduate students with an
interest in seventeenth-century attitudes towards morality and
conduct.
