Studies of the rise of London's vestries in the period to 1640 have tended to discuss them in terms of the inexorable rise of oligarchy and state formation. This article re-examines the emergence of the vestries in several ways, moving beyond this tr... Read More about Contested legitimacy and the ambiguous rise of vestries in early modern London.
