The Medieval Chantry in England is a special themed issue of Volume
164 of the Journal of the British Archaeological Association.
Subscribers to the journal will receive a paperback version of the
issue as part of their subscription. The subject is one that has
attracted considerable attention from archaeologists and historians
of art, architecture and music over the last two decades, though
relatively little has been published. Chantries were religious
institutions endowed with land, goods and money. At their heart was
the performance of a daily mass for the spiritual benefit of their
founders, and the souls of all faithful dead. To Church reformers,
they exemplified some of medieval Catholicism s most egregious
errors; but to the orthodox they offered opportunities to influence
what occurred in an unknowable afterlife. The eleven essays
presented here lead the reader through the earliest manifestations
of the chantry, the origins and development of stone-cage chapels,
royal patronage of commemorative art and architecture, the chantry
in the late medieval parish, the provision of music and textiles,
and a series of specific chantries created for William of Wykeham,
Edmund Audley, Thomas Spring and Abbot Islip, to the eventual
history and the cultural consequences of their suppression in the
mid-16th century."
