Thousands from Great Britain, America and from all parts of the earth visit it each summer, and yet many come and go hardly realising how close they are to scenes and places of the greatest historic interest. These twelve short sketches of famous men and women, who lived within a fifty mile radius of the village, are published in the hope that they may prove useful to some of the pilgrims, and may help to create an ever deepening interest in our Common Motherland. -- Pg. iv.

Download or read book The Church in Anglo Saxon Society written by John Blair and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-01-20 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the impact of the first monasteries in the seventh century, to the emergence of the local parochial system five hundred years later, the Church was a force for change in Anglo-Saxon society. It shaped culture and ideas, social and economic behaviour, and the organization of landscape and settlement. This book traces how the widespread foundation of monastic sites ('minsters') during c.670-730 gave the recently pagan English new ways of living, of exploiting their resources, and of absorbing European culture, as well as opening new spiritual and intellectual horizons. Through the era of Viking wars, and the tenth-century reconstruction of political and economic life, the minsters gradually lost their wealth, their independence, and their role as sites of high culture, but grew in stature as foci of local society and eventually towns. After 950, with the increasing prominence of manors, manor-houses, and village communities, a new and much larger category of small churches were founded, endowed, and rebuilt: the parish churches of the emergent eleventh- and twelfth-century local parochial system. In this innovative study, John Blair brings together written, topographical, and archaeological evidence to build a multi-dimensional picture of what local churches and local communities meant to each other in early England.
