Reformation, Politics and Polemics

Focusing on four Suffolk communities—Mildenhall, Bury St Edmunds, Thetford, and Hadleigh—this book delves into the local practices and public statements of Protestantism during the Reformation. John Craig analyzes how these towns responded to religious changes in the 16th century, offering detailed studies that contribute to a wider understanding of urban reformation in East Anglia. The exploration emphasizes the significance of local initiatives and community dynamics in shaping the Protestant movement.
