"Old Church Lore" by William Andrews is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the intricate relationships between the Church and the social life of the people in England during bygone eras. It weaves together various historical customs and legal practices related to the Church, illustrating how these elements influenced the daily lives of individuals. The opening of the work sets the stage by discussing the concept of sanctuary in English law, detailing its origins and the rights it granted to fugitives from justice in church settings. It provides specific references to early laws governing sanctuary, such as those from King Ina and Alfred the Great, and portrays how these laws evolved over centuries, including notable examples involving famous historical figures. Through these narratives, the reader gains insight into the complexities of life in medieval England and the significant role that the Church played as both a refuge and a legal authority.
