The English Reformation 1530 - 1570

The changes during the English Reformation reflected the desire of the Crown, government and landed classes to reduce the power and wealth of the late medieval Church. This book covers the background to the Reformation, the processes which brought about these major changes and the impact on the clergy and the general population.
