#MedievalStuff Not only children were baptized in the later Middle Ages, so too were herbs and images (especially wax votives used for healing), as recounted in cases against sorcery. S Wilson, The Magical Universe: Everyday Ritual and Magic in Pre-Modern Europe (2000), p. 241.

#MedievalStuff Thinking against the myth of parishioners being cowed & how & why they followed or demurred from rules. As many stories as there were people. In doing so, they created their own rituals. 🧵

#MedievalStuff Church gifts sometimes had proviso that they never be given away or sold. All Saints’, Bristol, in 1484 received a “bowl, cup and spoon ...not [to be] alienated, sold nor broken under pain of cursing us as it appears by writing under the dean’s seal.”

#MedievalStuff When purchasing objects for individual devotion, folks could place items on layaway. The 1499 will of Nicholas Derham "There is at Benjamins a standing cup, towards the purchase of which he has paid...the 12 spoons with knobs that are at Benjamins to be sold...”

#MedievalStuff Note how the text/music is placed in one direction & the images in the other. The text/music was for the cleric & the images for the laity listening to the performance. They were really long.

#MedievalStuff Notices and manifestos were nailed to the church doors, as were the Lollard Twelve Conculsions to Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s Cathedral in 1395 & of course, Luther's 95 Theses. Or they were pasted nearby onto the stone.

#MedievalStuff Church doors were crucial. Notices of liturgical celebrations (time, date), landowner will dig a ditch through his bog, a stray sheep lost, election of HRE, etc. Personal challenges, by hanging glove challenged an enemy to combat if they were taken down.

#MedievalStuff The grand size of some parish churches cause wonder, but as the community center, all of the space was needed. If people needed to get from one side to the other, they walked through the church. Doors remain open during the day to allow people to pass through. 🧵
