Description
Edition of rare churchwardens' accounts offers rich evidence for East Anglian life in the Civil War. The rare set of churchwardens' accounts edited here offers a detailed view of life in an East Anglian village during the English civil wars.
Their survival is unusual in a time which is considered by many to have experienced a wide-spread breakdown of local government, and they reveal many aspects of early modern life: of particular interest are the costs of war in a village which committed both men and money to Parliament's cause.
The introduction recreates the demographic, economic and social structure of early modern Cratfield, and the volume is completed with a number of appendices, including short biographies of those named in the accounts. LYNN A. BOTELHO is in theDepartment of History at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
