This study focuses on religious gilds or fraternities in both the
densely settled shire and the sparsely populated fens of
Cambridgeshire, from their apparent proliferation in the
mid-fourteenth century to their dissolution under Edward VI in
1558. Gilds exercised social control and contributed to the
religious and economic life of the parish, and their changing role
reflects social and religious change during the period. Dr
Bainbridge's sources include the 1388-9 survey of religious gilds
and surviving gild records, wills, manorial records, poll-tax
returns and letters patent. Dr VIRGINIA R. BAINBRIDGEteaches at St
Hilda's College, Oxford.

This study focuses on religious gilds or fraternities in both the
densely settled shire and the sparsely populated fens of
Cambridgeshire, from their apparent proliferation in the
mid-fourteenth century to their dissolution under Edward VI in
1558, in order to examine social and religious change during the
period. Gilds reflected the social hierarchies of their
communities, exerting social control and fostering mutual charity
in life and commemoration after death; they also made a substantial
contribution to the religious and economic life of the parish. Dr
Bainbridge examines lay responses to changing devotional and
doctrinal patterns through the returns to the 1388-9 survey of
religious gilds and surviving gild records; wills, manorial
records, poll-tax returns and letters patent supply further
information.Dr VIRGINIA R. BAINBRIDGEteaches at the St Hilda's
