Joint Liturgical Studies
Joint Liturgical Studies offers a valuable contribution to the
study of liturgy. Each issue considers a particular aspect of
liturgical development, such as the origins of the Roman rite,
Anglican Orders, welcoming the Baptised, and Anglican Missals. It
is aimed at all with an academic interest in worship.
It is published twice a year in partnership with the Alcuin
Club, which promotes the study of Christian liturgy, and the Group
for Renewal of Worship (GROW).
Volume 89: The Church of England Eucharist
1958-2012
William Smith
The Use of Hereford, a local variation of the Roman Rite, was
one of the principal diocesan liturgies of medieval England before
their abolition and replacement by the Book of Common Prayer after
1549. Unlike the widespread Use of Sarum, the Use of Hereford was
confined mainly to its cathedral and diocese, which enabled it to
maintain its individuality until the mid sixteenth century. This
monograph examines the Use of Hereford in the context of the
British diocesan rites in general, as well as considering its
possible Lotharingian origins during the late eleventh century and
its surviving sources, both manuscript and printed.
