This book provides a comprehensive examination of the ecclesiastical governance of English parishes during Elizabeth I's reign, focusing on the roles of churchwardens, ministers, and the courts Christian. The author demonstrates that while the church courts did much to enforce religious discipline and standards, they were also heavily involved in the day-to-day administration of parish affairs, from ensuring churches were in good repair to overseeing the care of the poor.
