a great deal of damage. It is perhaps not surprising that
Willingham very rarely saw its Rector! An indication of his
involvement is that the village fire tender was stored in the
church entrance porch. An idea of his character is revealed
in a remark from a contemporary that he was ‘notorious
for his conservatism and belief in tradition’.
The British Empire at its Height
The second half of the 19th century was arguably the
highpoint of the British Empire, and the Royal Navy had
control of the seaways to maintain it. Most of the leading
European nations were competing in a race to colonise the
under-developed parts of the world, but Britain emerged
with the largest slice. In the world atlases of the time British
colonies were coloured pink, which helped to emphasise
the sheer extent of the Empire across every continent.
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, Malaya, the East
and West Indies, and almost half of Africa were the larger
areas under British control. There was also a host of smaller
territories like Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, Aden, Singapore
and Hong Kong that made up a network of global trade
routes to provide markets for British manufactured goods
in return for minerals and agricultural products.
Emigration
There was certainly an awareness of the Empire in
Willingham. There were well-attended public lectures in Dr Robert Phelps
