Debates on Church Sanctity and Monuments in 1711
A fragmentary 1711 pamphlet discusses sacred space, church decorum, and reverence. It argues against turning churches into tombs or market spaces, questioning desecration by selling items and housing secular functions within holy sites. It notes money privileges and monument culture, and references public notices and religious writings printed in St Paul’s Churchyard.
