Abstract:Demographic studies of English towns in the late 17th and 18th centuries are comparatively rare and have concentrated, for the most part, on centres affected by industrialisation or on aspects of London's population history. This study seeks to shift the emphasis to a provincial centre in south east England little influenced by the dramatic economic changes associated with the industrial revolution.
