Raymond Cassidy papers for MA:
So many houseless poor persons...

 

This group of papers, which concentrates on issues of social history in Essex and Edmonton, two administrative areas which overlap at Waltham Abbey, has been described as 'a valuable contribution to an issue of Poor Law history.' The papers are:

So many houseless poor persons in the Edmonton vagrancy wards during mid-Victorian times; The strength of Lollardy and the early reception of Protestantism in Essex and Suffolk; "It was census day in the workhouse;" The significance of boundaries to the local historian; and The Hanoverian south-west Essex parson.

Ray was an active member of WAHS and Upshire Village Preservation Society. "He did not allow his mind to become wheelclamped and we are thankful for that" - Peter Huggins.
