Description
Summary:This article examines the ways in which the parishes of a middle-rank East Anglian seaport were affected by the dissolution of the town's religious houses, which had previously almost monopolized their patronage. It shows how a strong early Protestantism created a pastoral crisis in response to the Marian government's attempt to reimpose traditional Catholicism; later on, this grass-roots Protestant movement may have experienced difficulty in making common purpose with the clerical and Cambridge-inspired attempt to remold pastoral provision in the town in a Calvinist fashion, and this may explain why the attempt to create a classis in the town did not succeed.
