While much on work on the Oxford Movement has concentrated on the principal players' ideas, little has been published on what it meant in practice, particularly in parishes beyond Oxford. This work redresses that balance, with a particular focus on the development of Ritualism in contrast to Tractarianism. Herring articulates a coherent vision of the Church on the part of the Tractarians and identifies the efforts of a significant number of clergy to bring this vision to reality in the parishes.
