The ParishLeicester is an ancient city, probably of pre-Roman foundation, and capital of its county. The city is divided into a number of parishes, and several extra-parochial areas, of which St Margaret is the largest by population and area. The "cester" in its name indicates that it was a town of considerable importance in Roman times, as a major city of the kingdom of Wessex it was considered one of England's top 5 centres. Leicester is almost 100 miles northwest of London and at the heart of the East Midlands is still one of its major cities. St Margaret's parish consists of much of the north of the city and is centered on the northern point of the cities inner traffic ring where the A6 road heads off northwards from the city centre. The parish is set at about 50 metres above sea level and contains the main river for the city the Soar. Leicester grew substantially during England's industrial revolution, particularly trades involving the cotton spinning and manufacture of clothing. St Margaret's parish was the most populous of Leicester's parishes with around 31,000 parishioners at the end of this transcript period although that had grown spectacularly during the period of the transcript. As befits a major city Leicester has a very detailed entry in Domesday Book covering details of the properties and rental attributable to the King. |
