I went on a very good holiday to the vale of Glamorgan, an area I have never been to before, which had some interesting bells and churches and very varied scenery. Back to Easter Saturday and the sponsored walk and cycle ride. It was a beautiful warm sunny day with about 40 people walking and cycling. The cyclists went round Rutland Water with or without the peninsular and the walkers walked round the peninsular. The best part of the walk was the bluebell woods and at one place a whole field full of them. After we had finished the walk we met the cyclists at the Pub at Manton which was packed inside and out with everyone enjoying the lovely weather.

  • G.F. Nuttall, "The State of Religion in Northamptonshire (1793) by Andrew Fuller,"
    177 THE STATE OF RELIGION IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE (1793) BY ANDREW FULLER The letter fr'om Andrew Fuller transcr ibed below is preserved in the Congregational Library, London (Box H d 9). With other documents, it appears to be part of the response to an inquiry concerning the state of religion in England and .Wales which the Board of Managers of the Evangelical Magazine instituted when the Magazine was established in 1793. The "Heads of EnqQiry" were approved and transcribed in their first Minute Book, which in 1974 came into the possession of the Library of the United Reformed Church History Society in London. John Eyre was given the title of "Final Editor". I have not succeeded in identifying Fuller's correspondent, Josiah Lewis. A copy of John Gill's The Watchman's Answer to the Question, What of the Night? (1792) is preserved in the Congregational Library, which was given to Lewis on 16th July 1801 by Dan Taylor, so possibly Lewis was a General Baptist of the New Connexion, and a layman. The names of the six forerunners to whose labours Fuller looks back with gratitude make an interesting list. Hervey, Doddridge, Ryland and Maurice are still remembered; Abraham Maddock was Thomas Jones' predecessor as curate-in-charge of Great Creaton; William Grant was pastor of the Independent church worshipping at West End, Wellihgborough. In square brackets I have inserted a number of Christian names, the Baptist names from the lists printed in the first two volumes of the Baptist Annual Register, the Independent from T. Coleman's Memorials of the Independent Churches in Northamptonshire (1853).

The work as a whole makes an original The poor in England Steven King is Reader in History at contribution to the historiography of poverty, combining as it Oxford Brookes University. does a high degree of scholarship with intellectual innovation.’ The poor Professor Anne Borsay, University of Wales, Swansea This fascinating collection of studies investigates English poverty in England between 1700 and 1850 and the ways in which the poor made ends meet. The phrase ‘economy of makeshifts’ has often been used to summarise the patchy, disparate and sometimes failing 1700–1850 strategies of the poor for material survival.
