Oxford Council Acts: 1666–1701

Vol. II

New Hardback

Postscript summary

This volume of the Council Acts covers a time of political and religious strife, including the withdrawal of the city charter by James II in 1688, when Oxford was governed by nominees of the king rather than its own mayor and council. The period also saw continuing quarrels between city and university, and an increase in amenities, reflected in the Acts by mention of trades such as coachmakers, coffeemen and periwig-makers. Appendices include the Window Tax lists for 1696. Indexed. No jacket. Off-mint and American-cut pages on lower edge.
