A study of the impact of urbanisation on organised religion in
Croydon in the Victorian and Edwardian era. Drawing upon detailed
local sources, Dr Morris's study of the town and suburbs of Croydon
concentrates on the impact of urbanisation upon the development of
Victorian and Edwardian organised religion. The book addresses in
particular the origins and form of what has been described as the
decline of organised religion in England, pinpointing the
difficulties inherent in previous attempts to account for this
phenomenon. In his search for an explanation, Dr Morris argues that
it is appropriate to study the local tensions and conflicts which
engrossed the attention of the churches in this period, the
religious beliefs and activities of the middle classes who composed
the broad mass ofchurch membership, and the activities and
divisions of the urban elites who were most influential in the
churches' management. Finally he examines the role of reformed
local government in redefining the sphere within which churchaction
was deemed to be effective.
