English history has usually been written from the perspective of
the south, from the viewpoint of London or Canterbury, Oxford or
Cambridge. Yet throughout the middle ages life in the north of
England differed in many ways from that south of the Humber. In
ecclesiastical terms, the province of York, comprising the dioceses
of Carlisle, Durham and York, maintained its own identity,
jealously guarding its prerogatives from southern encroachment. In
their turn, the bishops and cathedral chapters of Carlisle and
Durham did much to prevent any increase in the powers of York
itself. Barrie Dobson is the leading authority on the history of
religion in the north of England during the later middle ages. In
this collection of essays he discusses aspects of church life in
each of the three dioceses, identifying the main features of
religion in the north and placing contemporary religious attitudes
in both a social and a local context. He also examines, among other
issues, the careers of individual prelates, including Alexander
Neville, archbishop of York (137X88) and Richard Bell, bishop of
Carlisle (1478-95); the foundation of chantries in York; and the
writing of history at York and Durham in the later middle
ages.
