Originally published in 1930, this book gives a survey of vicarages during the Middle Ages and the events which changed the roles of vicars between the Norman Conquest and the English Reformation. Hartridge focuses primarily on vicarages in England, but occasionally brings in evidence from Scotland and the continent by way of comparison. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in church history and how the Church operated on a local level.
