5. Books on the subject of church furniture are numerous. The most comprehensive modern handbook on the subject is J. C. Cox and A. Harvey's _English Church Furniture_, London, 1907. More detailed treatment of separate articles of furniture is given in F. Bond's _Screens and Galleries_, _Fonts and Font-Covers_, etc., volumes of a series now in course of publication. J. T. Fowler's edition of _The Rites of Durham_ (Surtees Society, 1903), and Rock's _Church of our Fathers_, edited by G. W. Hart and W. H. Frere (4 vols., London, 1903-4), are a mine of information on points connected with church services and furniture. 6. The historical aspect of the parish church is treated excellently by E. L. Cutts, _Parish Priests and their People in the Middle Ages_ (London, 1898). But, to gain an adequate knowledge of this side of the question, the study of original documents is necessary, and chiefly of the contents of episcopal registers. Of these invaluable texts some have been printed in full, and of others there are printed abstracts, but the vast majority remain in manuscript. The fullest printed series is the _Exeter Episcopal Registers_ (ed. F. C. Hingeston-Randolph), covering the period 1258-1455: the York registers from 1216 to 1285 (ed. J. Raine and W. Brown for the Surtees Society), and the Hereford registers from 1275 to 1327 (ed. W. W. Capes and others for the Cantilupe and Canterbury and York Societies) are also full and accurate editions. Much information with regard to the foundation of chantries and other important subjects may be obtained from the Calendars of the Patent Rolls and of Letters from the Papal Registers, published under the direction of the Master of the Rolls. The Chantry Certificate Rolls and Inventories of Church Goods drawn up between 1547 and 1549 are also sources of great value: these have been printed for some counties, but the greater number are still unpublished. J. C. Cox and R. M. Serjeantson's _History of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Northampton_ (Northampton, 1897) may be cited as a model history of a parish church. The arrangement of the topographical sections of the various Victoria County Histories makes it possible to study the history of a large number of churches in company with their architecture.
