Description:

The Medieval Chantry in England and Wales is a special themed issue of Volume 164 of the Journal of the British Archaeological Association. Subscribers to the journal will receive a paperback version of the issue as part of their subscription.

The subject is one that has attracted considerable attention from archaeologists and historians of art, architecture and music over the last two decades, though relatively little has been published. The volume includes essays on the prehistory of the chantry, music and the chantry priest, chantries in the parish, English royal chantry provision, the origins and early development of the cage chantry, the chantries of William of Wykeham, textiles and commemoration, the Audley Chantries at Hereford and Salisbury, the Spring Chantry at Lavenham, Abbot Islip at Westminster, and the Dissolution of the Chantries.
