3. CONFLICT AND CONSENSUS: THE CENTRAL REGIMES AND CHESHIRE, c. 1630-c.1660.
This article springs from a paper of the same title given at the 2003 History Day on ‘Cheshire in the Stuart Age’. It has been slightly revised and very lightly referenced for publication, but retains the feel, structure and rhythm of a conference paper rather than of a heavily referenced academic article. Because of the constraints of time, some aspects of the central-county relationship – notably parliamentary elections and representation, the work of the centrally-appointed judges and the relationship between large towns, especially but not exclusively Chester, and both the rest of the county and the centre – were not covered in the lecture and so are not discussed in this paper.
