Description
The parish played a vital role in people's lives in England and Wales between 1700 and the mid-twentieth century. In fact, parochial belonging was once a cornerstone of community life. Professor K. D. M. Snell explores themes such as settlement law, marriage patterns, local xenophobia, and the impact of new poor laws on outdoor relief. Snell examines how the parish continued to be an important unit in people's lives, despite changes brought about by globalisation. He discusses the creation of new parishes during this period and their effects on local attachments. This book offers a fresh perspective on the history of welfare, community identity, and belonging, making it highly relevant to modern themes such as de-localisation and the decline of community. By exploring the parish's significance in England and Wales between 1700 and 1950, Snell provides valuable insights into the administration associated with this institution. His work is an important contribution to our understanding of these topics, offering a nuanced analysis that sets local historical context for broader social changes.
