According to his wise discretion
Studies of late medieval pious endeavour tend to dwell on urban practice and, more particularly, on the investment and surveillance arranged within the parish – focusing on the role that close family and churchwardens played to protect intercessory arrangements. Such ventures, however, also had a civic dimension, examined here. In pre-Reformation Bristol, the mayor and other municipal officers played an active role safeguarding devotional investm…
Chantries in the Parish, or 'Through the Looking-glass'
Far from being the preserve of the great and the good, or gracing only high-grade churches such as abbeys or cathedrals, chantries ordinarily had a more humdrum character and expression. Most were of temporary duration, sited at existing altars in parish churches, and founded by the more middling sort — wealthier parishioners in either town or countryside. This essay dwells on the chantries established by men and women in Bristol in the century a…
An Afterlife in Memory’
Investigations of the more routine expressions of pre-Reformation spirituality inevitably tend to dwell on the conventions employed by individuals to ease the progress of the soul. The pious attestations and exhortations that some men and women recorded may merit the closest attention for the insight they afford into beliefs and aspiration; but hardly less instructive, and much more common, are the services and good works that individuals commiss…
The Late Medieval English College and its Context
A wide-ranging survey of the medieval secular college and its context.
London Parishioners in Times of Change
If St Andrew Hubbard, Eastcheap, was a fairly typical London parish in the later fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, its archive is unusually good. A reasonable number of its parishioners have surviving wills, which is true for the City's parishes generally; but St Andrew Hubbard is extraordinary in preserving churchwardens' accounts in a virtually unbroken run from c. 1450. It thus proves possible to gain a more than usually clear impression of p…
Mapping the soundscape
Topography and its metaphors have long dominated the historiography of towns and they continue to do so in the modern renaissance of what might be called ‘urban musicology’. Maps, plans and townscapes – likewise ‘soundscapes’ – have proved valuable in representing the diversity and disposition of activity, alongside the interplay of time and space and of private and public spheres. Yet at the same time a number of implications present in these co…
Penitential Bequests and Parish Regimes in Late Medieval England
The orthodoxy which dismissed the pre-Reformation parish as the point where the many failings of the Church met to blight ordinary lives has exercised a tenacious grip on the historical imagination. Current opinion, on the other hand, perceives the parish as deserving of inquiry, not least because of a dawning realisation that it was a point where managerial expertise and a noteworthy buoyancy of spirit intersected. Ostentatious programmes of chu…

For the Increase of Divine Service’
While it is incontrovertible that the Catholic faith exercised a profound influence on the lives of the common people of fifteenth-century England, it is equally apparent that many aspects of contemporary belief and practice will never be wholly clear. This is not simply for want of evidence but more the result of the limitations of the sources. It may, for instance, be assumed that contemporaries' religious priorities would be illuminated by clo…
