The records are very detailed and contain a wide array of information useful to historians seeking a more complete picture of the late medieval English church... Recent scholarship has broken with the long-held view that the late medieval English church was hopelessly corrupt. According to Harper-Bill, [veteran editor of ecclesiastical records], Morton's register provides evidence to support the newer, more favorable picture of the ecclesiastical establishment in England on the eve of the Reformation... in the light of the records which he has so capably edited, the argument is compelling. A welcome additions to printed primary sources for historians of the early Tudor church.
