If by a "Bible" you are referring to a printed copy of the Scriptures, I don't think the printing press was invented until the mid-sixteen century or thereabouts. Before that time most Bibles were handcopied by monks, and before that, by paid scribes. It could take a very long time to produce one Bible. Most people, at that time, did not know how to read, anyway. There was a Bible in every church which was read at each Mass, and then explained in the sermon or homily. Churches were built to be "homilies in stone". This is the reason that churches were so full and decorated. The windows would depict scenes from The Bible, there would be statues of various saints, murals, and fantastic altar pieces, rood screens, etc. were all decorated in such a fashion as to be lessons to the people and depictions of Bible events and stories. So, the short answer would be no, unless they were very wealthy and had a lot of time on their hands, which, by definition, means that they weren't a peasant!
