- Consisting of 274 pages and some 120,000 words, the book studies the national law applicable to, and the individual domestic constitutions, statutes, and soft law created by each of, the 43 cathedrals of the Church of England. These primary sources had never before been collected or analysed. The book treats a wide range of multi-layered cathedral activities – from governance through education and culture to property care and conservation. It questions whether national law imposed uniformity across all cathedrals, explores the lived legal experiences of senior cathedral staff, and took 2 years of data collection, investigation, and thought.
