This pioneering book is based upon very extensive analysis of the
famous 1851 Census of Religious Worship and earlier sources such as
the 1676 Compton Census. The authors stress contextual and regional
understanding of religion. Among the subjects covered for all of
England and Wales are the geography of the Church of England, Roman
Catholicism, the old and new dissenting denominations, the spatial
complementarity of denominations, and their importance for
political history. A range of further questions are then analysed,
such as regional continuities in religion, the growth of religious
pluralism, Sunday schools and child labour during
industrialisation, free and appropriated church sittings,
landownership and religion, and urbanisation and regional
'secularisation'. This book's advanced methods and findings will
have far-reaching influence within the disciplines of history,
historical and cultural geography, religious sociology and in the
social science community general.
