Hardback
- Information
Description
This volume of essays explores the interaction of Church and town in the medieval period in England.
Two major themes structure the book. In the first part the authors explore the social and economic dimensions of the interaction; in the second part the emphasis moves to the spaces and built forms of towns and their church buildings.
The primary emphasis of the essays is upon the urban activities of the medieval Church as a set of institutions: parish, diocese, monastery, cathedral.
In these various institutional roles the Church did much to shape both the origin and the development of the medieval town.
In exploring themes of topography, marketing and law the authors show that the relationship of Church and town could be both mutually beneficial and a source of conflict.
