Before 1 July 1837, when the Birth, Death and Marriage Acts of 1836 came into force, only Church of England registers had legal status. These acts ended the Church of England’s monopoly in the registration of these events.
However, the Church of England was understandably reluctant to give up its monopoly, and the income that went with it, without a fight and so the new system of Civil Registration did not arrive smoothly. The Church had considerable influence in the House of Lords and consequently the 1836 Acts were flawed pieces of legislation; although they at least succeeded in reaching the statute books, where earlier attempts had failed.
Registration of births and deaths was incomplete to begin with, especially births, but improved considerably …

The database of the Warwickshire Industrial Archaeology Society was born out of a desire to make an accurate, up-to-date list of the industrial sites of Warwickshire available to anyone with an interest in the county’s industrial archaeology and industrial history. As such, it would act as the ideal first stop for anyone seeking to know what sites exist in Warwickshire, where they are located, and the possibility of accessing these sites. Interesting though they obviously are to the industrial historian, the database does not include sites that have disappeared and for which no evidence on the ground remains.
