Church Rates at Chatteris Spark Parish Poll Clash
A 1846 Chatteris vestry vote on a penny church-rate drew a 269 to 104 poll against the levy. The meeting, chaired by Rev M A Gathercole, clashed with anti-rate parishioners who rallied, held a public poll, and planned legal action while a lecturer spoke in support of the movement. The piece also discusses broader debates on church finance and bishops in Parliament.
