Description

This comprehensive historical study examines the evolution of ecclesiastical jurisdiction in England from the Tudor period through the nineteenth century, tracing how the church's courts lost authority over key legal matters including probate, marriage, divorce, tithes, defamation, and disciplinary cases involving lay people. The book documents the gradual transfer of these jurisdictions to royal courts during the mid-nineteenth century, exploring both the large-scale political and religious shifts and the smaller procedural changes that drove this transformation. Published by Cambridge University Press as part of their English Legal History series, this work provides the first complete history of ecclesiastical courts covering this crucial period of institutional change in England's legal system. Essential reading for scholars of church history, legal history, and the religious upheaval of early modern and Victorian England.

Key Features

Covers ecclesiastical jurisdiction across five centuries, from 1500 through 1860, documenting the complete lifecycle of church court authority.

Examines five major legal domains handled by ecclesiastical courts: probate, marriage and divorce, tithes, defamation, and disciplinary prosecutions.

Traces the transfer of church court powers to royal courts during the mid-nineteenth century with detailed analysis of causes and mechanisms.

Published by Cambridge University Press in the established English Legal History series, providing scholarly authority on institutional legal change.

Integrates broad historical context with specific procedural evidence to explain why and how ecclesiastical jurisdiction collapsed in Victorian England.
