Excerpt from Luton Church: Historical and Descriptive
Yet modern writers have in general, with a singular disregard of both etymological and historical intimations, attributed well nigh all that is recorded of its earliest history to some town or village not heard of till generations later, whilst even the tradition of those more recent events and persons which are plainly and rightly accredited to it in well-known records, has, for the most part, died out of the memory of its present population.
Yet Luton, as has played its part, and a not inglorious or altogether unimportant part, from the very earliest times, in the story of the nation. It possesses one site, at least, within its borders of more than ordinary, it may be of unique interest, and two or more manors of perhaps little less historical consideration. It can claim among the lords of its chief manor, besides a long succession of worthy kings, some of the foremost champions of liberty and men of the most noble character, and it has seen in its streets or heard in its fanes many of the notables of both mediaeval and modern times; whilst it can show in the history and present aspect of its venerable parish church, with its well-authenticated succession of clergy dating from Saxon times to the present hour, an evidence as well of the continuity of the National Church, alike through changes of race and dynasty, of policies and creed, as of the still-existent beauty of one at least of her mediaeval fanes, notwithstanding both royal and fanatical despoilers.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed and fully referenced history of the church at Luton, Bedfordshire, that dates back to the very earliest times of Christianity's arrival in the country. The author shows that this was probably one of the first centers of Christianity in the Midlands and provides evidence that a monastery was likely established at, or very near to Luton during the 7th century. The history of the subsequent church buildings on the site is traced, and the book also provides detailed biographies of the rectors and vicars instituted to the church from the 12th century onwards. The volume concludes with a detailed history of the church's bells, and an appendix that provides a comprehensive listing of charitable donations made to the church from 1548 to 1903. Beyond its local interest, the book is also valuable for the light it sheds on the early development of Christianity in England and the role of monasteries in that process.
