Although the village suffered from the rising cost of poor relief experienced nationwide at the end of the eighteenth century, this article argues that the response of its vestry was shaped by Battersea’s liminal location. Consideration is given to the central role that the workhouse played in the provision of poor relief, and demonstrating that the social networks of parochial leaders were key to the development of policy. Many of the vestry members had commercial and professional interests in the metropolis and elsewhere, and these, together with their patronage of London charitable institutions, helped both to shape their response to the problems of poverty that they encountered, and influenced their administration of the Battersea workhouse.","PeriodicalId":43904,"journal":{"name":"London Journal","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136307905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extraordinarily, the procession was organised not by the civic authorities, as it was in both York and Coventry, but by one Company, the Skinners’ of London, whose fraternity was dedicated to the cult. The event was a source of pride for the brethren who remembered the fraternity in their wills and who contributed to the torch-lit parade with significant bequests to highlight their status and wealth. The London parish celebrations for Corpus Christi were of a different order, focused on the coming together of a community within a neighbourhood and not on rank. A study of the Skinners’ London procession has, hitherto, not been undertaken. Set in the context of the cult’s first appearance in England in the fourteenth century, and the development of fraternities, the research is based on a study of the Skinners’ Corpus Christi Fraternity register, a selection of Skinners’ wills, and the Skinners’ Company accounts.","PeriodicalId":43904,"journal":{"name":"London Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41537627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
