Abstract: | In addition to the well-known foreign missionary activities of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century churchmen, this same period
saw campaigns of active proselytization within Britain. Whether couched in terms referring to “religious revival” or “home
mission” it had the same aim as foreign mission activity, namely to effect religious change. This paper explores the way in
which the religious changes associated with these campaigns affected the landscape of the lead-mining districts of the North
Pennines in northern England. A repeating cycle of preaching first outdoors, then indoors and then in purpose-built structures
can be recognized. |
