DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book reconstructs the late Anglo-Saxon history of the church of Worcester, covering the period between Bishops Wærferth and Wulfstan II. Starting with an examination of the episcopal succession and the relations between bishops and cathedral community, the volume moves on to consider the development of the church of Worcester's landed estate, its extension, organization and pastoral care. In so doing the book offers a detailed picture of the main occupations (and preoccupations) of the late Anglo-Saxon church of Worcester in its interaction with society at large.
