There has been dispute amongst social historians about whether only
the more prosperous in village society were involved in religious
practice. In this 1995 book, a group of historians working under Dr
Spufford's direction have produced a factual solution to this
dispute by examining the taxation records of large groups of
dissenters and churchwardens, and have established that both late
Lollard and post-Restoration dissenting belief crossed the whole
taxable spectrum. We can no longer speak of religion as being the
prerogative of either 'weavers and threshers' or, on the other
hand, of village elites. In her own substantial chapter Dr Spufford
draws together the mosaic constructed by the contributors, adds
radical ideas of her own, and disagrees with much of the prevailing
wisdom on the function of religion in the late seventeenth century.
Professor Patrick Collinson has contributed a critical conclusion
to the volume.
