Laudian Belchamp Walter

Archbishop William Laud and his advocation of Charles I's religious reforms must have had consequences in the history of the village of Belchamp Walter and the activities in the parish church.

There is a dichotomy relating to the church at Belchamp Walter as it is well established that there was a Parliamentarian leaning in the early 17th century but the apparent "High Church" allegiances that seem to appear at later dates are somewhat in conflict.

Maybe the adoption of the use of the Book of Common Prayer was a reaction to the Republican years and a return to the theology of earlier years.

Richard Hooker

Richard Hooker (25 March 1554 – 2 November 1600)[2] was an English priest in the Church of England and an influential theologian.[3] He was one of the most important English theologians of the sixteenth century.[4] His defence of the role of redeemed reason informed the theology of the seventeenth-century Caroline Divines and later provided many members of the Church of England with a theological method which combined the claims of revelation, reason and tradition
