But what a story shines forth from these dry bones!Firstly the image of social cohesion and natural marriage of sacred and secular before the reformation leaves one yearning for what can never be repeated.Then as it is smashed, at best for dubious religious reasons, always leading to wholesale asset-stripping of the Church by the elites, and always entirely at odds with the wishes and good of the villagers, a feeling of resigned pessimism sets in.This derision and violence against Tradition and the wishes of the common people, in favour of a top down intelligentsia and monied ruling class sets the backdrop for where we are today.I don't feel anger. Just resigned pessimism. That's life. The serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can and the wisdom to know the difference.The people of Morebath didn't waste energy on anger either.They showed courage in sending their best young men off to fight for their Faith in the Prayer Book Rebellion (which killed ten times the number of "Bloody Mary"), then wisdom and serenity after defeat, in accepting what they could not change.This book will have you delving deeper into what happened at the Reformation and the religious and social reasons behind it.In my case it has also brought about a much greater feeling of closeness to my fellow ordinary Christians of all denominations.We ordinary people are not responsible for the divisions in the Faith!(The asset-stripping of English Parishes has not ended.Having asset-stripped all parish legacies in the 1970s, sold off parsonages paid for by parishes, lost £800 million of parish money for clergy in the early 1990s, cut most clergy in favour of a bloated diocesan beaurocracy, stolen most of the revenue parish churches get in fees, centralised diocesan beaurocracies now sting parishes for eye-watering sums in "parish shares" to the diocese every year.The only family silver now left is our parish Church buildings, which are now slowly coming under threat.We should all care about this.These assets belong to us, the parishioners, whatever our religious beliefs.I would urge you to keep an ear to the ground about what is going on at your local Church, and read the information given by "Save the Parish".I'm not an Anglican, but this affects us all.) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Scholarly work *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 August 2024* Brilliant scholarship with the added bonus that it mentions my farm! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting snapshot of a rural past *by A***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2023* A few years ago I spent a lot of time in and around the relatively isolated hamlet of Morebath. I bought this book having previously spotted it in a Glastonbury bookshop window, and although it tells of several centuries earlier it is still possible to recognise many of the farms and manors in the description. A must for anyone who loves local Exmoor history. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/214020885-the-voices-of-morebath-reformation-and-rebellion-in-an-english](https://www.desertcart.us/products/214020885-the-voices-of-morebath-reformation-and-rebellion-in-an-english) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
