Based on a wide variety of government and civic records, this book
traces the evolution of the changing nature of city status,
particularly through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Beginning with an explanation of how city status first became
connected to cathedrals in the medieval period, the book explores
how during the nineteenth century, links evolved between Anglican
diocesan sub-divisions and city creation. It then shows how in a
few years, between 1888 and 1907, the traditional interpretation of
a city was overturned as the most major British industrial and
commercial towns received city status and lord mayoralties. The
second half of the book concentrates on city status during the
twentieth century, and particularly the politicisation of the
process and the linking of grants to royal occasions. The study
concludes by looking at the city status competitions of 2000 and
2002 in relation to the previous two hundred years of city history.
