Early Churchwardens' Accounts of Bishops Stortford

1431-1558

Edited by Stephen S Dorree

Hertfordshire Record Society

Published 1994 (ISBN 0 9510728 9 7)

Here is a glimpse of behind-the-scenes life in a medieval parish church. These accounts, unique for this period in Hertfordshire, are not merely local records: they are national records which give, as no other source can, an insight into the religious world, not of clerics or theologians, but of ordinary people. This volume will go a long way to complement the first volume published by the Society, Tudor Churchwardens' Accounts.
