Essays on English medieval ecclesiastical history focusing particularly on administration. Dorothy Owen has made a major contribution over half a century to our knowledge of the history of the English church especially but not exclusively in the middle ages. While her published work has focused largely on eastern England she has never lost sight of the wider universal context and is one of the leading scholars of medieval canon law. This volume of essays on English medieval ecclesiastical history is presented to her as a tribute from friendscolleagues and former pupils; their contents range from the pre-Conquest period to the eve of the Reformation but are all concerned with the practicalities of ecclesiastical administration and jurisdiction.
