Religious Census of Northamptonshire |
One of
the main features of Victorian local history
was the balance between the religious denominations,
which varied from place to place. The one
and only a religious census was taken in
the county of Northamptonshire was in 1851.
This exercise was undertaken alongside
the regular census, taken every ten years
from 1801.
This volume gives a synopsis of the returns
of each place of religious worhsip in every
place in the county. The editor, Graham
Ward, explains the problems inherent in
the way the census was designed and looks
at the issues raised by this one and only
attempt to measure religious allegiance
with statistical precision. |
