  • Church Building and Society in the Later Middle Ages: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2017. 336p. Hardback. Series: Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series, 107. 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. (Publisher's information). € 106.81 (New) (Printed on Demand)  (approx. delivery time: 4 weeks) ISBN: 9781107157095
