The extraordinary growth of London's Catholic population in the first half of the nineteenth century and the effect the arrival of large numbers of Catholic migrants had on life in the capital is a topic often overlooked in local and national histories. How this largely impoverished Catholic community adapted to life in the capital during these years and how their needs were provided for, and the challenges they presented met, is the subject of this meticulously researched new study by Jean Maynard. Drawing on a wide range of disparate sources-parish, school, convent and diocesan archives, as well as those of religious orders and congregations, local newspapers, Catholic journals and almanacs, and the minute books of lay associations and fund-raising committees-Maynard tells us the stories of these Catholic communities scattered across London as they struggled to build their churches, schools and orphanages, organise parishes, and provide networks of care and support for their members. Fleshed out with a wealth of absorbing detail-providing an invaluable resource for local historians-they make for fascinating reading.
