‘The Irresistable Authority of a Troop of Horse’
Historians have argued over how much influence the army had on local government during the 1640s and 1650s. Discussion of the military impact on parish religion has, however, been more limited, despite many remembered accounts, from both loyalists and nonconformists, of its negative consequences. Such memories are examined here, along with contemporary legal records relating to the involvement of military Justices of the Peace and ordinary soldie…
The Child's blood should lye at his Door’
By the 1640s, Prayer Book ritual had marked rites of passage in England for over eighty years. It formed a reassuring continuum with older Catholic rites and gave communality to parish religion. However, puritans disliked its ceremonial elements, which were banned by Parliament in the 1640s. Anecdotal evidence suggests that parishioners continued to demand old-style rites of passage, and some clergy to offer them. This has led historians to sugge…
The minister is much disheartened
Many questions remain to be answered about the parish clergy who served in England's churches between 1640 and 1660, due to the difficulties of interrogating the complex, ever-changing, singular and often deficient ecclesiastical records of the time. But much can be learned about religious policy and the relationships of clergy with their communities from the legal records of the time. As well as being useful for linking transient clergy to parti…
Church and People in Interregnum Britain
This volume assesses interregnum religious practice at ground level, based on a sophisticated understanding of the complex and unique pattern of record-keeping and survival from the period. In the process, we see how ever-evolving national initiatives met local spaces, local traditions and individual personal agendas. We see the tensions produced by the emergence of religious plurality in a society still yearning for social conformity under a uni…
Women's experience of violence and suffering as represented in loyalist accounts of the English Civil War
This paper investigates attitudes to gender and agency engendered by the English Civil Wars, by considering the depiction of women’s responses to violence in letters describing the experiences of loyalist clerical families during the wars. Although most were written by men, by embracing a concept of authorship including both written accounts and oral narratives by women embedded in male-authored accounts, over a hundred accounts are found to have…
