I think that Parish Priests and Their People is a good book 603
Parish Priests and Their People A great mass of material has of late years been brought within reach of the student bearing upon the history of the religious life and customs of the English people during the period from their conversion in the sixth and seventh centuries down to the Reformation of the Church of England in the sixteenth century but this material is still to be found only in great libraries and is therefore hardly within reach of the general reader The following chapters contain the results of some study of the subject among the treasures of the library of the British Museum much of those results it is believed will be new and all it is hoped useful to the large number of general readers who happily in these days take an intelligent interest in English Church history The book might have been made shorter and lighter by giving fewer extracts from the original documents but much of the history is new and it seemed desirable to support it by sufficient evidence The extracts have been as far as possible so chosen that each shall give some additional incidental touch to the filling up of the general picture Parish Priests and Their People in the Middle Ages in England.
