For those who believe that the stipend was always provided in full by the Church Commissioners, and that the ‘one parson one parish’ model was an ancient tradition of the Church, this book presents a challenging range of structures from the past. In her conclusion the author the suggests that history should not be used simply to illuminate present problems, but that “more hopefully, the history of the parish shows the variety, experiment, change there has been within and between townships and communities. Many possible ways forward can be inspired by the past”.
Anthea Jones, former Head of History at Cheltenham Ladies College, presents an enormous wealth of detail while at the same time write in a lively and engaging style. The book is beautifully produced and well illustrated throughout (including a photograph of one of the Anglo-Saxon crosses in Whalley Churchyard).
