The construction of a church was undoubtedly one of the most demanding events to take
place in the life of a medieval parish. It required a huge outlay of time, money and
labour, and often a new organisational structure to oversee design and management.
Who took control and who provided the financing was deeply shaped by local patterns
in wealth, authority and institutional development - from small villages with little
formal government to settlements with highly unequal populations. This all took place
during a period of great economic and social change as communities managed the impact
of the Black Death, the end of serfdom and the slump of the mid-fifteenth century.
This original and authoritative study provides an account of how economic change,
local politics and architecture combined in late-medieval England. It will be of interest
to researchers of medieval, socio-economic and art history
