The Voices of Morebath: Reformation and Rebellion in an English Village is a 2001 non-fiction book by the historian Eamon Duffy. It concerns Morebath, England, during the English Reformation of the 16th century. Using the churchwarden's accounts maintained by Sir Christopher Trychay, the vicar of Morebath's parish, Duffy recounts the religious and social implications of the Reformation in a small conservative Catholic community through the reign of Henry VIII, during the violent 1549 Prayer Book Rebellion, and into the Elizabethan era. Trychay's accounts – first reprinted in 1904 – had been used in other scholarly works and were first encountered by Duffy in 1992. Duffy's work depicts both Morebath and Trychay through their strong early resistance to the Reformation to their eventual adoption of new religious norms under the Protestant Elizabethan Religious Settlement. In 2002, the work won the Hawthornden Prize and the book was shortlisted for both the Samuel Johnson Prize and British Academy Book Prize.
