Mid-sixteenth-century change. 330 $aThis book offers a new perspective to the current debate about popular religious attitudes in Tudor England, laying particular emphasis on the social and secular dimensions of parish life. The argument focuses on the role of the laity and especially on the office of churchwarden. It assesses the rising levels of parish income, the importance of the social context for fund-raising strategies, and the growing expenditure on priests, voluntary activities and administrative duties. The final part discusses the Reformation-related reduction in religious options and the intensifying trend towards oligarchical parish regimes and official local government responsibilities. Wherever possible, the English situation is put into sharper focus by comparisons with local ecclesiastical life on the Continent and appendices provide a detailed financial analysis for a large number of parishes. 410 0$aSt. Andrews studies in Reformation history. 606 $aCommunity life$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aParishes$zEngland$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yLancaster and York, 1399-1485 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1399-1485 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1485-1603 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yTudors, 1485-1603 607 $aEngland$xHistory, Local 615 0$aCommunity life$xHistory. 615 0$aParishes$xHistory. 676 $a942.05 700 $aKumin$b Beat A.$0939614 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155002103321 996 $aThe shaping of a community$92118243 997 $aUNINA
