Gentry culture and the politics of religion

Politics, culture and society in early modern Britain

General Editors
PROFESSOR ALASTAIR BELLANY
DR ALEXANDRA GAJDA
PROFESSOR PETER LAKE
PROFESSOR ANTHONY MILTON
PROFESSOR JASON PEACEY

This important series publishes monographs that take a fresh and challenging look at the interactions between politics, culture and society in Britain between 1500 and the mid-eighteenth century. It counteracts the fragmentation of current historiography through encouraging a variety of approaches which attempt to redefine the political, social and cultural worlds, and to explore their interconnection in a flexible and creative fashion. All the volumes in the series question and transcend traditional interdisciplinary boundaries, such as those between political history and literary studies, social history and divinity, urban history and anthropology. They thus contribute to a broader understanding of crucial developments in early modern Britain.

Contents

This book began life forty years ago when we were researching the career and writings of Sir Richard Grosvenor on a series of memorable student trips to Chester with our friend Alan Thomas. Ever since then we have been enormously grateful for the hospitality and help given to us by the staff at Cheshire Archives and Local Studies (formerly the county and city record offices) and also at the Staffordshire Record Office. We would also like to thank the Universities of Birmingham and Vanderbilt for providing us with the research funding to carry out this project.

In writing this book we have relied heavily on the work of others and benefited enormously from their help and insights. We are particularly indebted to Tom Cogswell, Ken Fincham, Ann Hughes and John Walter, who all read sections of this book and advised us on particular topics. Howard Barlow, Steven Hindle, James Mawdesley, Philip Morgan and David Scott have been particularly generous in sharing their knowledge of all things Cheshire and saving us from errors. Charles Goode and Julia White have assisted with work on Thomas Mainwarings diary; Louise Buglass has drawn the maps; Wendy Di Traglia kindly allowed us to use her work on Cheshire funeral monuments; and Rosemary Keep has shared her work on gentry portraiture. We would like to thank all of them.

We would also like to acknowledge the influence of the work of Conrad Russell in shaping this and all our work on early Stuart politics.

Finally, we would like to thank, and acknowledge the influence of, four outstanding historians whose own early work on county studies has done so much to influence our understanding of the local history of the civil-war period: Anthony Fletcher, Clive Holmes, Ann Hughes and John Morrill.
