Staffing medieval cathedrals was always a problem. Some English cathedrals introduced monks, but those at Chichester, Exeter, Hereford, Lichfield, Lincoln, St. Paul's London, Salisbury, Wells and York were all in the hands of secular canons. These senior priests were rarely present, however, so such cathedrals were actually staffed by vicars, who took the canons' places in services. This book is concerned with these vicars; their history, their buildings and their archaeology. From their first appearance in the 12th century, the vicars' morals and behaviour were matters for concern, and Deans struggled to impose discipline. Documentary records of these struggles have survived well and, as presented here, they represent a major source for historians of the medieval city and Church. Eventually all English Cathedral vicars were subjected to quasi-monastic discipline and were housed in carefully designed and regulated colleges. Several of these important complexes have survived and, for the first time, all nine colleges are studied here, using documents, survey work and excavation. An extraordinary interdisciplinary resource is revealed. An initial section introduces the vicars choral, explaining their role within the English and European Church and exploring their central role in medieval liturgy and music-making. Detailed studies of the history, architectural history and archaeology of each of the nine English colleges are then followed by in-depth study of the York college, using the full range of documentary, architectural and archaeological resources to illustrate the life and times of this important group of priests.
