| Abstract | Living and worshipping as a community was a normal part of clerical life in the middle ages, especially the pre-1100 period; clergy in communities were called canons. This session opens with an examination of a little-known Carolingian rule for canons, the so-called Bern Rule. Next it considers the extent to which monks and canons could be distiguished in 10th-century England following the Benedictine Reform of the 10th century, paying particular attention to the hybrid community of Worcester Cathedral. Finally it surveys regional differences between clerical communities in late Anglo-Saxon England, paying attention to the different extents of continental and insular traditions. |
