During the Industrial Revolution the attention of contemporaries
was drawn inevitably towards conditions in the great manufacturing
towns, a bias which most historical writing continues to
perpetuate. By contrast, only scant attention has been paid to the
development of older-established communities, although their
stimulation during this period of transition is of compelling
interest. County towns were by no means insulated from the broad
currents of economic and social change at work in society, but in a
large measure the forces of continuity and stability continued to
shape their character. This detailed study of one of Britain's most
notable historic towns concentrates on population growth by
migration and natural increase, explores the course of marriage,
birth and death rates, and concludes with an examination of
household and family structure, based on the mid-nineteenth century
census enumerators' returns.
