Reconstructing the English medieval parish church chantries and chapels: an archaeological approach

The study of medieval chantry chapels has recently reached an impasse in that they have been subject to historical and architectural research, and some of the finest, predominately monastic, examples have been studied in some detail. But a considerable amount of evidence for chantries and late medieval religion can be recovered by studying surviving structural evidence and much more can be revealed, especially at parish level, by the application of modern archaeological and analytical techniques.
