It provides a detailed analysis of how the ward evolved physically, politically, financially, and spiritually and is set within the context of medieval London studies. Bassishaw, one of the smallest wards in medieval London, was at the heart of city government and the cloth trade. City merchants and tradesmen gravitated to the area not just for trade, but also to seek legal advice and arbitration. Bassishaw's only parish church, St Michael Bassishaw, benefitted from the presence of affluent merchants who chose in live within its jurisdiction. The wealth of surviving city records make it possible to challenge preconceptions about the past; highlighting the complex dynamics of city government, economy, and its inhabitants; allowing parallels to be drawn between the past and present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bassishaw Ward, originally named Basing Hall after the family of Basing, was one of the smallest districts in medieval London. A mix of large residential buildings, compact rental tenements, and a labyrinth of small lanes and courtyards, it was located at the heart of city government as well as the cloth trade. City merchants and tradesmen flocked to the area not only for buying and selling their wares, but also to seek legal advice and arbitration. Bassishaw's only parish church, St. Michael Bassishaw, benefited greatly from these circumstances due to the affluent merchants who chose to live within its jurisdiction. In A History of Bassishaw Ward: c. 1200 - c. 1600, author Christine M. Fox, PhD, as commissioned by Alderman Timothy Hailes, JP, offers the first comprehensive, yet accessible, study of the medieval history of Bassishaw Ward. Drawing from a wealth of surviving city records, Fox illuminates this area's past and examines its complex political and economic conditions. This detailed book presents a rich tapestry of the ward's life, its attitudes toward the poor, and even its handling of immigration. Many of these issues still resonate deeply today within twenty-first century Britain.

Download or read book The Success of English Land Tax Administration 1643 1733 written by Stephen Pierpoint and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-21 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a thorough review of early English land taxes of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It is a polemical work which is critical of the institutional English state narratives including Brewer’s ‘Sinews of Power’ and North and Weingast’s ‘credible commitment’ and some established works in the field particularly Ward’s ‘The English Land Tax in the Eighteenth-Century’ which is subject to a highly detailed critique. The book proposes that although this was a time of tension, with an English population divided by political and religious affiliations, unprecedented amounts of taxation were still collected. This was achieved by ceding immediate process ownership to local governors whilst arming them with clear success criteria, well-designed processes and innovative legislation targeted on a growing and commercialized economy. An important development was the state’s increasing ability to coordinate tax-gathering activities across the country. This book will be of interest to financial historians, academics, and researchers.
