About this title

Synopsis

During the early modern period altars became a religious battleground.

Review

...a work of considerable importance to those interested in old churchs. (Jerome Bertram,Church Monuments,)

...a work of immense learning and thorough research...a richly evidenced, innovative and stimulating book. (The Art Newspaper)

An impressive work of scholarship, stimulating and readable. (Northern History)

This book must become the definitive account of altars and altar policies in the post-Reformation era. (Graham Parry, University of York)

A technical read, with a real sense of what things were like on the ground, and is a considerable achievement indeed (Kenneth Stevenson, Church Times)

Fascinating reading (Leanda de Lisle, Catholic Herald)

a richly textured study of religious change at both local and national level (Spartacus Review)

This book is beautifully researched, with a wealth of detail from hitherto neglected sources ... a masterpiece, and essential reading for those concerned with both theological controversy and the worship of this period in the life of the Church of England. (Bryan D. Spinks, Journal of Ecclesiastical History)

[an] excellent book ... a major contribution to Reformation studies, and a fantastic way in to the everyday dramas of this formative period (Lee Gatiss, Churchman)

This is a superb piece of collaborative historical analysis ... Altars Restored will prove the touchstone for all future research on the subject. (John Craig, History)
