Description/Abstract
This paper considers the relative significance of social standing and gender on parish life within early modern London and how this was expressed via their liturgical textiles. The data are drawn from the 1552 parish inventories that record these textiles and the other appertenances of worship. Vestments worn for communion, robes for boy choristers and the range of textiles associated with birth, christening, churching, marriage and death are evaluated to see how far they reveal distinctions between men and women, adults and children, rich and poor, laity and clergy. A range of differences can be seen, as can the way in which social and gender considerations interlinked.
