  • Economic History Trade and Industry 1850 to 2013
    ECONOMIC HISTORY TRADE AND INDUSTRY 1850 TO 2013 Before the 1850s the goods that Basingstoke manufactured were mainly sold locally. It was only after the arrival of the railway in 1839, followed in 1856 by the establishment of the North Hants Iron Works and the arrival of Thomas Burberry, that Basingstoke began exporting goods in any quantity across the United Kingdom and, later, overseas.1 In 1686 Basingstoke had been the fifth most populous town in Hampshire. Although it lost its major industry, cloth production, by 1700 it remained an important town. It retained its roles as a major market for the countryside and small towns of the area around, and as a stopping off point on one of the major routes to London. The villages could sell their produce here and purchase goods in return, whether imported products or those produced in the workshops of the town. This marketing role for its agricultural hinterland helped encourage the large-scale investment required in the creation of a canal to London, opened in 1794. Coal and timber could be imported and malt and other agricultural produce could be sent to London. However, the investment turned out to be a poor one as the returns of the canal were falling significantly before the coming of the railways. The construction of the railways and the town’s emergence between 1840 and 1854 as the junction for three routes transformed Basingstoke’s economy. While the railways devastated the road carrying and innkeeping trades, they also offered considerable advantages for the 1 Many Hampshire volunteers contributed to this project led by Bob Clarke.

The following account of Church Bells and Bell- founders was originally read at a General Meeting of the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society, held in Salisbury in the year 1854, and appeared in the Society's Magazine. Since that time the writer has collected much additional information which he believes will be of interest and service to those who are engaged in the same study ; and justifies him in publishing the paper in the present form. He has added many founders and foundries to his original list ; and many more might be obtained from the Northern and Eastern Counties, whose bells are comparatively unknown to him.

Almost every century in the last millennium has witnessed fresh efforts by the central government to devise an effective means of tapping the wealth of the people and applying it to its own purposes. Some taxes from the beginning have proved failures and been dropped after the first vain levies; the pages of English fiscal history are strewn with the records of unsuccessful experiments. Others, such as the land tax, have had a long life. But all, save perhaps the customs, have tended with the lapse of time to lose their flexibility, to become stereotyped in assessment and ultimately disproportionate and profitless in collection. Almost every century has brought its own offerings to fiscal history ; the most enduring contribution, for instance, of the fourteenth century, so fertile in expedients, was the ‘fifteenth and tenth’, of the seventeenth, the excise, and of the nineteenth century, the permanent income tax. In the sixteenth century the outstanding fiscal development was the shaping of the Tudor subsidy, a graduated direct tax that played an important part in royal finance not only in the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I but also in those of the early Stuarts, and that was not finally dropped until after the Restoration.‘ The two documents whose texts are printed in this volume illustrate the growth, incidence and methods of collection of this tax.’ Let us consider first the later and longer assessment list.

One of the joys of living here is to listen to the nightingale’s song on an early summer evening. There is never a guarantee but at the place I visit I have never failed to hear several of these archetypal songsters in full voice. I think the song of the nightingale is so distinctive, so exceptional it is impossible to confuse it with any other bird. Once you have heard one you will always recognise it. It was in Berkshire that I heard the song of the nightingale for the first time in more than 30 years and yet when I heard it again I knew immediately, although I could barely believe my ears. When I go to listen to the nightingale sing there are always other people about, walking their dogs or in family groups or engaging in conversation with friends. What I struggle to understand is, why don’t they stop and listen too? I want to stop them and say, “can you not hear, haven’t you heard, what is wrong with you?” Is the song of the nightingale so familiar that it is not worth stopping to listen to? Would they thank me if I pointed it out? Are they just content in the things that occupy them? I have never stopped anyone and suggested they join me in listening but I do come across others who are there for the same reason I am.
