- English Chantries
- Alan Kreider
- The chantries of medieval England were founded in the belief that intercessory masses could shorten the period spent by souls in purgatory. Kreider writes about chantries' social, religious, and numerical importance; the significance of purgatory in their founding; and the theological and economic changes of the 1530s and 1540s that caused the government to jettison traditional practices concerning prayers for the deceased.
