The Church of England in the Forest of Arden, 1660-1740
This study explores the Anglican Church in a particular locality, namely the Forest of Arden region of Warwickshire, from the Restoration to 1740. This thesis is in sharp contrast to those histories that have depicted the Church of England as a moribund institution. It is contended that Anglicanism was a vibrant and accepted part of the lives of a considerable proportion of the laity, providing the focus of the communal and social life of the parish. What is more, the church and its clergy successfully served the needs of the people. In addition, it played a significant role in the spiritual, educational and moral discipline of the lower orders. This study shows that there was a high level of clerical commitment to the good of the people and that there was a considerable amount of lay participation in all aspects of church life. Evidence is also presented that there was a general Anglican commitment to harmony between those of differing religious views.
The Lords of Arden
Peter de Montfort, Lord of Beaudesert, is forced to betray the young Earl of Warwick into the hands of a hated guardian.

Dynastic marriage is taken for granted, but the sons and daughters of Warwickshire's heartland, John and Johanna, Richard and Rose, the devious Nicholas and the alluring, manipulative Orabella, fight to wrest personal happiness from the claws of family fealty.
