The Church’s response to the cholera outbreak of 1866
Keyword(s):
The publication of Mr Norman Longmate’s book King Cholera in November 1966 served as a reminder of the terrible scourge which afflicted this country on no less than four separate occasions during the nineteenth century. While this volume was, no doubt—as the ‘blurb’ on its dust-jacket affirms—‘an important contribution to social history’, so far as the part which the Church played during those critical years, the half was not told in its pages. In this short paper it will be my task to try to repair this omission in regard to just one of the four major outbreaks of the disease in England, the last in fact, that of the year 1866; and to say something of the response made by churchmen and women to the cholera outbreak of a century ago.
