In this comprehensive study, Nicholas Orme shows how they came into existence, who staffed them, and how their buildings were used. He explains who went to church, who did not attend, how people behaved there, and how they--not merely the clergy--affected how worship was staged. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book provides an accessible account of what happened in the daily and weekly services, and how churches marked the seasons of Christmas, Lent, Easter, and summer. It describes how they celebrated the great events of life: birth, coming of age, and marriage, and gave comfort in sickness and death. A final chapter covers the English Reformation in the sixteenth century and shows how, alongside its changes, much that went on in parish churches remained as before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Orme\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 030026643X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300266436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.04w x 1.34d","brand":"Nicholas Orme","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056489296127,"sku":"9780300266436","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3bfaa51-1f1f-4103-aa1e-9c3ceb030495.jpg?v=1685041595","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/going-to-church-in-medieval-nicholas-orme-9780300266436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
