Parish Listing of 1701 Some support for this view is contained in the Stoke poor law accounts cited by Ward in the 1840s, and now lost, which show us that expenditure on the poor law rose markedly in the late seventeenth century. The listing was prepared by or on behalf of Thomas Allen, who was rector of Stoke from 1697 to 1732. If, as seems likely, the population of the parish was increasing then this may have meant that the area was experiencing some difficulty in meeting the needs of its poorer inhabitants. www.staffs.ac.uk /schools/humanities_and_soc_sciences/census/parlist.htm   (1289 words)
