Product Description
Review
"In addition to providing the first real scholarly treatment of the subject, Nicholas Orme''s work also raises a number of questions which should inspire local researchers........Professor Orme has produced a masterly study of a neglected subject for which he is to be congratulated. The value for local historians in Cornwall and Devon is immense, and hopefully this book will inspire more detailed country studies eslewhere. It richly deserves a place on all serious local historian''s bookshelves alongside Dr. Oliver Padel''s Cornish Place Names which it complements so well." -Cornwall Association
Product Description
People assume that parish church dedications are ancient, but many of those in use today are inventions of the 18th and 19th centuries, and the original dedications were entirely different. This volume offers information about the history of English parish churches, providing an aspect on religion in England in all periods of history. Part One of the book gives a general history of Church dedications in England, from Roman times to the present day. Part Two provides a gazetteer of dedications in Cornwall and Devon, with dates and references, showing how far each one can be traced back, and what changes and misunderstandings have occurred. It offers evidence about the Cornish saints, and aims to provide a guide and model for similar research in other counties.
