Vicarages were important providers of hospitality
to archdeacons, travellers, and the sick of the
parish in medieval times. References to these roles
are to be found in R A R Hartridge's A History of
Vicarages in the Middle Ages, and E L Cutts's
Parish Priests and their People in the Middle Ages
in England.
