Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of a London parish during the tumultuous period of the Elizabethan era. Drawing from parish account books dating back to 1596, the author traces the events and decisions that shaped daily life for ordinary residents of St. Bartholomew's Exchange. The text provides an intimate look at the financial management of the parish, including details of expenditures for church repairs, lectures, and charitable donations. Alongside these practical matters, the book also sheds light on the social and religious customs and beliefs of the time, from the provision of holly and flowers for Christmas and Easter to the practice of whipping vagrants and the handling of foundlings. Through these records, we gain a unique insight into the lives and values of those who lived in the heart of London during this transformative period.
