Medieval Life
Description
Richard Taylor uncovers evidence that shows how and why our parish churches came to play such a crucial role in the everyday life of the Middle Ages. He finds out how rites such as baptism and the largely forgotten ritual known as 'the churching of women' offered people protection from the cradle to the grave.
