Synopsis

This book provides an extensive and informative catalog of church plate from the county of Dorset, particularly exploring the abundance of Elizabethan chalices found within the region. The author traces the history of church plate from the time of the Reformation, discussing how the medieval chalices left to each parish were gradually exchanged or replaced by the new standardized communion cups and patens that emerged in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, a change reflected in the vast majority of Dorset's church plate. The author also examines the interesting matter of numerous examples found in the diocese of Dorset that are apparently of provincial manufacture, some bearing town or maker symbols rather than regular hallmarks. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of church plate, the Reformation, or the county of Dorset, shedding light on the rich cultural and religious heritage of the region.
