{"product_id":"church-building-and-society-in-gabriel-byng-9781108827454","title":"Church Building and Society in the Later Middle Ages","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriel Byng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108827454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108827454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Gabriel Byng","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213310882047,"sku":"9781108827454","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e63fb45e-ebe7-4b03-a15e-6d09bf74d027.jpg?v=1692113162","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/church-building-and-society-in-gabriel-byng-9781108827454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
