Lancashire V1: Its Puritanism And Nonconformity (1869)

By Robert Halley

Book Overview

Lancashire V1: Its Puritanism And Nonconformity is a historical book written by Robert Halley and first published in 1869. The book focuses on the religious history of Lancashire, a county in the north-west of England, during the 16th and 17th centuries. Halley explores the rise of Puritanism in Lancashire, which was a movement that sought to purify the Church of England of what they saw as Catholic practices. He discusses the key figures and events that shaped the Puritan movement in the county, including the influence of John Calvin and the formation of Puritan congregations. The book also examines the growth of nonconformity in Lancashire, which refers to religious groups that did not conform to the Church of England. Halley discusses the Quakers, Baptists, and other nonconformist groups that emerged in Lancashire during this time, and their struggles for religious freedom. Throughout the book, Halley provides detailed accounts of the religious and political climate of Lancashire during the 16th and 17th centuries, and how these factors influenced the development of Puritanism and nonconformity in the county. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion in England, and particularly in Lancashire.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
