Thomas Wentworth landed in Ireland in 1633 - almost 100 years after
Henry VIII had begun his break with Rome. The majority of the
people were still Catholic. William Laud had just been elevated to
Canterbury. A Yorkshire cleric, John Bramhall, followed the new
viceroy and became, in less than one year, Bishop of Derry. This
2007 study, which is centred on Bramhall, examines how these three
men embarked on a policy for the established Church which
represented not only a break with a century of reforming tradition
but which also sought to make the tiny Irish Church a model for the
other Stuart kingdoms. Dr McCafferty shows how accompanying
canonical changes were explicitly implemented for notice and
eventual adoption in England and Scotland. However within eight
years the experiment was blown apart and reconstruction denounced
as subversive. Wentworth, Laud and Bramhall faced consequent
disgrace, trial, death or exile.
