Abstract

Despite the attention of a number of scholars over the last half-century, the origins and early history of the chantry remain obscure. The following paper considers several examples of early medieval commemorative practice which may have been significant in the development of the chantry, and concludes with an attempt to establish something of an institutional, liturgical and architectural context for the medieval chantry as it found expression in later medieval England and Wales.
