Surveys of aspects of clerical life - services, social activities,
size of the congregation - shed new light on the church at the
time. In the early twentieth century the Church of England remained
a significant institution in the lives of the people of
Oxfordshire. It was for many a key provider of education and social
activities as well as being a focus for religious worship and
community life. The two surveys in this volume show a range of
aspects of the Church at work in the last unclouded summer before
the Great War of 1914-18, and also detail the responses of both
clergy and people to four years of conflict. The returns to the
bishop by clergymen in each parish reveal the opportunities as well
as the struggles that the war brought to many households and the
ways in which the conflict proved to be a catalyst for social and
religious change. The reports are presented here in full with
biographical notes on the clergy and an extensive introduction.
