A History of Agriculture and Prices in England
This immensely detailed eight-piece compilation documents the fluctuating prices of agricultural produce in England between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries. Volume 6 (from 1887) presents in tabular form data from 1583 to 1702, showing the prices of a range of products in towns and cities across the country.
The History of Harting (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The History of Harting It is generally allowed that the story of each parish ought to be written separately. County histories, however imposing, are generally wholesale collections of fragmentary gossip, full of inaccuracies which, once printed, have been copied with all care from one book into another. The fault does not arise from lack of material, for there is scarcely an acre of Old England, especially if it nestles under an ancient church, that has not a history of its own, which, if told, might help local education and even inspire patriotism; and so great is the wealth of public historical documents in England as compared with France (which in this respect lost irretrieva...
Religion, Politics and Society in Britain 1066-1272
The period from 1066 to 1272, from the Norman Conquest to the death of Henry III, was one of enormous political change in England and of innovation in the Church as a whole. Religion, Politics and Society 1066-1272 charts the many ways in which a constantly changing religious culture impacted on a social and political system which was itself dominated by clerics, from the parish to the kingdom. Examining the various ways in which churchmen saw their relation to secular power, Henry Mayr-Harting introduces many of the great personalities of the time, such as Thomas Becket and Robert Grosseteste. At the same time he shows how religion itself changed over the course of two centuries, in response to changing social conditions – how rising population fuelled the economic activities of the monasteries, and how parish reform demanded a more educated clergy and by this increased the social prestige of the Church. Written by an acknowledged master in the field, this magisterial account will be an unmissable read for all students of Norman and Plantagenet England and of the history of the medieval Church as a political, social and spiritual force.

Yet inequality policy is notoriously complex and contested. This book approaches the issue from two linked perspectives. First, a focus on functional requirementshighlights what policymakers think they need to deliver policy successfully, and the gap between their requirements and reality. We identify this gap in relation to the theor...
