Summary

This essay explores the established Churches in Britain during the Romantic period, with a focus on England and Scotland. It considers the impact of the churchmanship that was evolving during this period, reveals tensions between the Church and nonconformists, provides examples of everyday belief and practice, and seeks to show why it was believed that a close alliance between Church and state remained necessary.
