Description

Devon has a rich Christian history going back to the early fifth century. This book explains how the Church grew into a complex organisation of bishops and clergy, monasteries and friaries, parish churches and chapels, and how it was reshaped by the Norman Conquest, the Black Death, and the great changes of the Reformation up to the accession of Queen Elizabeth I. The focus of the book is on social history. We learn how parishioners built and beautified their churches, and joined guilds and pilgrimages to worship and socialise. We also hear of those who resisted the Church s claims by building rival chapels, avoiding religious obligations, and getting involved with vandalism and heresy. The book is thus a history of the people of Devon as well as their Church, over nearly 1200 years. The story is told in an accessible way for general readers, local historians, and scholars, and will be an invaluable help in understanding parishes, church buildings, and many other matters. There are forty-two maps and illustrations, an explanation of technical terms, detailed references to sources, and a bibliography and index.

Author Biography:

Canon Professor Nicholas Orme was born in Bristol and read History at Oxford where his teachers included W. G. Hoskins. He is Emeritus Professor at the University of Exeter and during his 43 years' service he developed a keen interest in the local area. He was appointed an honorary lay canon of Truro Cathedral in recognition of his work in Cornwall. Now retired, he has returned to live in Oxford but continues to visit Devon and Cornwall on a regular basis.
