SIXTH WARWICK SYMPOSIUM ON PARISH RESEARCH - Saturday 17 May 2008 (all day)

‘Warwick Symposium on Parish Research’ is an annual forum for specialized papers and general discussion on parish-related themes. Contributions reflect a wide range of interdisciplinary approaches to both British and European parishes from c. 1300 to c. 1800.

CHRISTINE PETERS (Queen's College, Oxford):
