![]() ![]() ![]() In seeking to explain the loss of the male funder in the late nineteenth century, the thesis engages with the key wider themes of philanthropy and secularisation. Drawing on the wealth of material contained in the annual reports of the organisations chosen for this study, this thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of the subscriptions and donations and in doing so identifies an important shift in the gender-base of the laity’s support at the end of the period. The initial four questions that this thesis examines are: how did the organisations raise money who did they solicit support from to what extent were the societies successful in soliciting financial support to carry out their aims and did the funding revenue streams remain stable through the period? This is with the main purpose of evaluating the Anglican community’s support of these organisations during the period of study, in terms of who gave financial support and how this changed. The main thrust of the thesis is an analysis of the finances of these home-missionary organisations. These five organisations were all entirely dependant upon the financial support of the Anglican laity to provide their revenue. This thesis is an examination of five Anglican home-missionary organisations which operated in the Diocese of London in the latter half of the nineteenth century. ![]()
