The Law of Tithes and Tithe Rent-Charge: Being a Treatise on the Law of Tithe Rent-Charge, With a Sketch of the History and Law of Tithes Prior to the ... With the Rules Thereunder (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book chronicles the ecclesiastical history of tithes from their biblical origins, to their development into a formalized tax under Medieval English Canon Law, to their secularization under Henry VIII. The author traces how the Protestant Reformation replaced Papal authority with the Crown as the head of the English Church while giving legal standing to tithes as a form of property. The impact of the resulting tithes system on parishes and their communities is explored before the author examines the process by which tithes were, in the 19th Century, converted into a monetary rent charge, leading to greater equity in the distribution of the Church's revenues. This is a comprehensive historical study of tithes in England that will appeal to scholars of religious history, legal history, and English history in general.
