10 “We have treated the Reformation as if it was a unified movement and a coherent event – as if King Henry VIII in 1529 could throw a switch on the control-panel of history, and unleash thirty years of inexorable change. Also we have tended to forget that the Reformation happened in different ways in various parts of the British Isles. But the Reformation was not one big event; it is just a convenient historians’ label for a collection of little events. So the Reformation did not proceed in a straightforward sequence: It tacked and turned as political interests dictated – and sometimes it went into reverse and change was undone. Thus, the Reformation was a sequence of accidents and instalments, which took the nation from official Catholicism to nominal Protestantism by a series of small steps. The Reformation happened fairly peacefully because few recognised what I was. Only in 1559, when the new Elizabethan regime tried to impose a total Reformation, was the real significance of events clear even at Westminster… It took ten years and more to implement the legislation of 1559 in many parishes… Away from London and the big towns, it was not until the 1570s that the English really had to face the fact that, like it or not, they had had a Reformation.” Reformation Word given to describe the religious changes which took place under the Tudors in England, and also the rest of Western Europe Unified United, together Coherent Connected events, not random Inexorable Relentless or unstoppable Dictated Commanded or ordered Nominal Very small ‘The Reformation’ Christopher Haigh, in The Making of Britain: the age of expansion, 1986
