- W73500523 abstract "One November day in the late 1820s, Mrs Nathan Mayer Rothschild took up her pen to send a few lines to an acquaintance, an American-born lady of title. 'We are still', she wrote, 'at Stamford Hill. We find this situation more agreeable than in the streets of London. We do not have any of the benefit from our national friend the fog, and I must say that I am unkind enough to do all I can to avoid this boast of Old England.'1 Had the portmanteau word 'smog' been current in Hannah Rothschild's time, that would surely have been the term she would have used. Beneath her wry comment on the weather lies one of the most potent reasons for what is often called 'the flight from the city'. Ever since the Middle Ages, Londoners who could afford to do so have bought, leased or rented accommodation at least some distance from the smoke-ridden and usually overcrowded conditions of their place of work.2 Suburban growth is nothing new. What is new is the interest its study now arouses. Amateur topographers, deep in inscriptions and prolix in anecdote, have given way to cultural geographers, neighbourhood specialists and other exponents of quantitative method.3 Whatever questions may remain as to the relevance of some of their conclusions, historians work with caution in fields not yet explored by these professionals. A booklet privately printed in 1976 is the only specific authority available on the present topic,4 and the cause is not far to seek. Hackney has an abundance of primary sources, but no detailed survey based on them since 1842. The poor-rate books exist in an unbroken series from 1716, and are supplemented by other rate books, mostly continuous, starting from only slightly later dates. The manorial archives are even more copious.5 The material, then, is sufficient to occupy many hands, if not indeed a research team as sizeable as any yet assembled by Professor and Mrs Lawrence Stone.6 For immediate purposes, it is necessary to make a start with the first Jewish household recorded in Hackney after the Resettlement, the family of Isaac Alvares the jeweller, who served as senior warden of the London Mahamad in 1668. Six years later he purchased in the names of his children Deborah (aged five) and Abraham (aged three)7 the copyhold of a modest dwelling in Homerton, then a straggling street of houses surrounded by farmland at some distance from Hackney. The vendor was Sir Edward de Carteret, one of His" @default.
