But a series of statutes enacted by Henry VIII between 1529 and 1540 effectively reduced such clerical absenteeism. Robert Palmer examines this transformation of the English parish and argues that it was an important part of the English Reformation. 410 0$aStudies in legal history. 606 $aChurch and state$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aParishes$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aLeases$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aBenefices, Ecclesiastical$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aReformation$zEngland 615 0$aChurch and state$xHistory. 615 0$aParishes$xHistory. 615 0$aLeases$xHistory. 615 0$aBenefices, Ecclesiastical$xHistory. 615 0$aReformation 676 $a274.2/05 700 $aPalmer$b Robert C.$f1947-$01539134 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780366903321 996 $aSelling the church$93789778 997 $aUNINA
