Earliest "God's Houses" It is curious to find a clergyman put ting forward the view that the title, "the Lord's House," applied to churches, was originally given to them because lords of the manor held courts there. This appears in a book about a remote Kent parish, All Hallows. I loo. It is certainly true, ns the author au-thor contends, that churches In pre Itefornialion days were more like village vil-lage halls. Plays were acted in them and inquiries of any kind held; sometimes some-times valuables were stored there. But they were to the people God's houses even more than they tire now.
