medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I've been waiting for Gerallt to chip in on this one but he's clearly busy! It's something we have had to look at very closely on the St Teilo's project - how would the Mass, other forms of public devotion and personal use/experience of the church actually work in a small and relatively underfunded prish church in south Wales. The book which Gerallt has recently edited, Saving St Teilo's (Cardiff: National Museum of Wales, 2009) includes a very basic introduction on medieval worship and its social context - well reviewed on Vidimus at http://www.vidimus.org/booksWebsites.html#d0e2498 For more detail, and available on the web: Transcripts of papers at a conference last autumn at http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/teilo/conference/ include contributions on * Interpreting a medieval church through liturgy. DH Frost. [PDF download, 5.7MB] * Public space and private prayer: the church building as locus for personal devotion. John Morgan-Guy [PDF download, 243KB] * 'So that the people can sing together in church': Aspects of the parish soundscape in Wales c.1500-c.1630. Sally Harper [PDF download, 2.6MB] as well as our own Helen Watt and Rosemary C. E. Hayes The Records of Central Government Taxation in England and Wales: Clerical Taxes 1173-1664 : Introducing a newly-accessible source for the history of the Welsh Medieval Church'. [PDF download, 2MB] During the research we kept coming back to Eamon Duffy - both Stripping of the Altars and The Voices of Morebath. For a counter-perspective you could try Graves, C. P. (2000) The form and fabric of belief. An archaeology of the lay experience of religion in medieval Norfolk and Devon. BAR British Series 311. ISBN 1 84171 161 6. - which is very detailed and argues against Duffy that the privatisation of space and visibility was an important element in the experience of late medieval worship.
