Sunday 30th March 1851 was unique in British statistical history. This was the only day in British history when a census was taken of all religious worship in the country. This volume contains transcriptions of the returns from Lincolnshire churches and chapels. The entries contain a wealth of religious and social detail. For instance attendance at St. Martin’s in Lincoln was much diminished by the prevailing influenza and the evening service still further by a violent storm of thunder and lightning.
