Table of ContentsReviews'Thomson's case-study of the courts at Winchester, Worcester and Wells, at work and in decline... makes a thoughtful contribution to the historiography of ecclesiastical justice. It will no doubt have legal historians reconsidering the church courts' place across the entire seventeenth-century English experience.' The English Historical Review 'serves as an invaluable guide to the institutions for non-experts' The Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'Andrew Thomson's impressive study of church courts in three dioceses in the seventeenth century is one of decline and a missed opportunity at the Restoration in 1660 to reform them.' Church History 'The book is an excellent study and while it could be described as 'local history' by its being rooted in its case studies, it pans out and makes one of the most valuable studies of ecclesiastical justice in the seventeenth century that there is.' Ecclesiastical Law Journal 'The book is an excellent study and while it could be described as 'local history' by its being rooted in its case studies, it pans out and makes one of the most valuable studies of ecclesiastical justice in the seventeenth century that there is.' Ecclesiastical Law Journal Author InformationAndrew Thomson read History at King’s College London in the 1950s and taught the subject, mainly as head of department at sixth form college level, from which, after 35 years, he took early retirement to devote himself to research and writing.
