5 Ibid, p. viii: the Report from the clergy of a district in the diocese of Lincoln (1800) on non-attendance at worship might have suggested that an agricultural county south of the Wash would have been a better case, cf. Soloway, R. A., Prelates and people (London, 1969), pp. 50–52Google Scholar.
6 12.0% as compared with 8.2%, though presumably Obelkevich's figure is a percentage of the total population, not the adult population as defined by Gilbert. Rough calculations suggest, however, that even if Obelkevich's figures were recalculated as percentages of the adult population, this would only mean that parishes with a population of below 200 were above Gilbert's national figure: Obelkevich, Religion and rural society, p. 139, Gilbert, Religion in industrial society, p. 28.
7 Is it the estimated nature of these figures which explains the curious dip in Anglican density in 1881, for which there is no comparable fluctuation in the ratio of churches or clergy to the adult population? In fact, the movements of the index between 1841 and 1881 are within 0.5% of the total range.

23 This is one of a disconcerting number of small mistakes. Others include: the timing of the abolition of compulsory church rates (p. 216) and the terms of the University Tests Act, 1871 (p. 217); Westcott was never headmaster of Harrow (p. 181); Raven was never Lady Margaret Professor at Cambridge (p. 290); and the Gifford lectures are never given at Oxford (p. 328).
