Our last issue was mostly filled with the 15th century, this with the 19th. That on the 15th century concerned those who, for their times, lived comfortably; this issue follows the modern obsession with the poor and, in the case of Cropredy, the brick houses in which they lived. There is a reason for that, other than fashion. It is rare to find records of the poor before the introduction of parish registers in the 16th century, and little can be found before the invention of newspapers, cen- suses and other modern methods of monitoring the lives of all of us. The mediaeval obsession was with property and its inheritance; surviving records are filled with little else, so we know little of the unpropertied. That does not necessarily mean that our ancestors did not worry about the poor; we just do not know. But in the hundred years war there are many incidents of violence recorded in which the defeated were all put to the sword, except those worth ransoming. Probably property did then matter more than lives. It is in fact better to live now. What then induced Richard Bowle, yeoman of Banbury, to risk his life and his hard-won farm to travel to Kent to join Jack Cade's rising of 1450 ?

The only matter I have to contend with is party & political interests - The town of Banbury is opposed in these respects to the vicinity - and they are fearful. of being swamped as they term it by the outparishest. Edward Gul- son, assistant poor law commissioner, writing from Banbury, 7th March, 1835, concerning the implementation of the Poor Law Amendment Act, 1834. In early Victorian England poverty was an inescapable fact of life for many people, with perhaps 30 per cent of the population living at or below subsistence level as late as the 1850s. * In previous decades, the proportion was far higher. This was especially true of the old, the sick and the children of labouring families, though a number of Oxfordshire households suffered from the decline in pillow lacemaking and glovemaking as factory production undermined the prosperity of the old domestic trades 2 Some of those in need were aided by local charities; others gained from the provision of allotments on which they could grow their own vege- tables and perhaps raise enough corn to feed a pig. In 1819 poor law authorities were empowered to acquire land by purchase or lease for this purpose. And although the initial response was modest, certain landowners and clergymen offered plots of their own for allotments in the belief that these would encourage labourers to become hard-working and self- dependent. At Finmere in the 1820s, the Duke of Buckingham offered land at the rate of 50s. per acre to any poor man resident in the parish who had a wife and two children living. But the plan proved unsuccessful, as the plots offered were too large to be cultivated with a spade.' Another enthusiastic supporter of the idea was the blanket manufacturer,. John Earley of Witney, who declared in 1840: 'the allotment system is a great blessing to the poor man; it saves many evils, and brings up the children to industry by the example set by the parents; it gives the poor man a feeling of respectful independence . , . independence of the poor's rates. The allotment system will not only give a man bread, but also cheese with it. ' A third, more permanent, solution to the poverty question was a resort to emigration and in a minority of parishes this, too, was adopted. Indeed, some poor law reformers saw it as the 'natural vent' of surplus population. ' Among the communities participating in the movement was Hook Norton, which sent about 175 persons away in the mid-1820s. A few years later thirty-six men, women and children migrated from Kings Sutton, their move to New York being financed by the imposition of a levy of 6d. an acre on land in the parish and a further special rate of 6d. in the E.5 That initiative encouraged the Bicester authorities to take a similar step in 1830, with the venture financed by borrowing El, 000 on the rates to cover the cost of clothing, travel, and equipment for the migrants for their journey. In the late spring of 1830 a first instalment of seventy- 55 one adults and forty children was carried by waggon to Liverpool ready to embark for the United States. Others followed, with a total of 217 persons sent away at a cost to the parish of El, 415 14s. 104d. Most of them made a success of the venture, though a few faint-hearts found their way back to Bicester, where they were set to work by the parish authorities collecting coal from a nearby wharf. Deddington also shared in the upsurge of emigration in the late 1820s and early 1830s, though here enthusiasm was dampened when about fifty of those departing in 1831 travelled on a cholera stricken vessel and many died on their journey. ' In other cases, aid was given in the late 1830s under the terms of the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act itself; thus in the period July 1836 to July 1837, 25 people were sent to Canada from Garsington and Holton and 31 from Wheatley. In all, between July 1836 and December, 1847, 315 Oxfordshire emigrants were sent away under poor law auspices from eighteen different parishes. One hundred and forty of them travelled to Canada, eight to the Cape of Good Hope, and the remain- der to South Australia. * But on grounds of cost and of organisational difficulty, emigration could never provide a major solution to the problem of pauperism, no matter what its supporters might claim.

Paupers Behaving Badly: Punishment in the Victorian Workhouse Samantha Williams Abstract The deterrent workhouse, with its strict rules for the behavior of inmates and boundaries of authority of the workhouse officers, was a central expression of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, known widely as the New Poor Law. This article explores for the first time the day-to-day experience of the power and authority of workhouse masters, matrons, other officers of the workhouse, and its Board of Guardians, and the resistance and agency of resentful inmates. Despite new sets of regulations to guide workhouse officers in the uniform imposition of discipline on residents, there was a high degree of regional diversity not only in the types of offenses committed by paupers but also in welfare policy relating to the punishments inflicted for disorderly and refractory behavior. And while pauper agency was significant, it should not be over- stated, given the disparity in power between inmates and workhouse officials. he workhouse was a central feature of Britain’s New Poor Law Amend- Tment Act of 1834, and discipline and punishment for transgressions

  • OXONIENSIA PRINT.Indd 253 14/11/2014 10:59 254 REVIEWS
    REVIEWS Joan Dils and Margaret Yates (eds.), An Historical Atlas of Berkshire, 2nd edition (Berkshire Record Society), 2012. Pp. xii + 174. 164 maps, 31 colour and 9 b&w illustrations. Paperback. £20 (plus £4 p&p in UK). ISBN 0-9548716-9-3. Available from: Berkshire Record Society, c/o Berkshire Record Offi ce, 9 Coley Avenue, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 6AF. During the past twenty years the historical atlas has become a popular means through which to examine a county’s history. In 1998 Berkshire inspired one of the earlier examples – predating Oxfordshire by over a decade – when Joan Dils edited an attractive volume for the Berkshire Record Society. Oxoniensia’s review in 1999 (vol. 64, pp. 307–8) welcomed the Berkshire atlas and expressed the hope that it would sell out quickly so that ‘the editor’s skills can be even more generously deployed in a second edition’. Perhaps this journal should modestly refrain from claiming credit, but the wish has been fulfi lled and a second edition has now appeared. Th e new edition, again published by the Berkshire Record Society and edited by Joan Dils and Margaret Yates, improves upon its predecessor in almost every way. Advances in digital technology have enabled the new edition to use several colours on the maps, and this helps enormously to reveal patterns and distributions. As before, the volume has benefi ted greatly from the design skills of the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication at the University of Reading. Some entries are now enlivened with colour illustrations as well (for example, funerary monuments, local brickwork, a workhouse), which enhance the text, though readers could probably have been left to imagine a fl ock of sheep grazing on the Downs.

  • Post-Medieval and Modern Resource Assessment
    THE SOLENT THAMES RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT POST-MEDIEVAL AND MODERN PERIOD (AD 1540 - ) Jill Hind April 2010 (County contributions by Vicky Basford, Owen Cambridge, Brian Giggins, David Green, David Hopkins, John Rhodes, and Chris Welch; palaeoenvironmental contribution by Mike Allen) Introduction The period from 1540 to the present encompasses a vast amount of change to society, stretching as it does from the end of the feudal medieval system to a multi-cultural, globally oriented state, which increasingly depends on the use of Information Technology. This transition has been punctuated by the protestant reformation of the 16th century, conflicts over religion and power structure, including regicide in the 17th century, the Industrial and Agricultural revolutions of the 18th and early 19th century and a series of major wars. Although land battles have not taken place on British soil since the 18th century, setting aside terrorism, civilians have become increasingly involved in these wars. The period has also seen the development of capitalism, with Britain leading the Industrial Revolution and becoming a major trading nation. Trade was followed by colonisation and by the second half of the 19th century the British Empire included vast areas across the world, despite the independence of the United States in 1783. The second half of the 20th century saw the end of imperialism. London became a centre of global importance as a result of trade and empire, but has maintained its status as a financial centre. The Solent Thames region generally is prosperous, benefiting from relative proximity to London and good communications routes. The Isle of Wight has its own particular issues, but has never been completely isolated from major events.
