Summary

The Church of England has its own courts and its own laws, subject to the law of England. In the nineteenth century, as Professor Evans shows, its jurisdiction was rethought in a flurry of Parliamentary interest, press coverage and high-profile cases involving colourful clergy and laity and much social pressure.
