This book throws fresh light on the experiences of Gypsies in
Surrey and South London at the dawn of the modern era. It uses a
wide range of records to paint a detailed picture of people who
left few written records themselves. It shows how external forces
including enclosure, urban expansion, changing economic
circumstances and ever-intrusive legislation, increasingly
challenged their way of life. The parallel struggles of local
communities and institutions to respond effectively and the
development of perceptions and prejudices have a contemporary
resonance that should interest the general reader as well as
academics and local and family historians.
