Full Description

Through the eyes of the diarist Mary Hardy we experience the active religious life of those in the pew. She helped to run an early Church of England Sunday school and founded a Methodist meeting - in her washerwoman's cottage. She and her circle were prepared to roam up to nine miles away to hear a good preacher. Local society and the state of the poor are examined, as well as the trading world of the town and corn market at a time of dynamic change. Hundreds of illustrations, in black and white and full colour, accompany the text. Meticulous sidenotes elaborate on sources, extensive indexes serve as research aids. Part of a four-volume set, this book nevertheless stands on its own.
