- How far do you agree that the Statute of Artificers (1563) was the key turning point in changing the relationship of central government with the localities in the years 1485 – 1603?
- LOA: no, was not innovative and increased problems
- P1 pre 1563 and issues
- statute was not the first attempt to deal with the problem of vagrancy and the poor
- 1495- vagabonds act - punsihed put in stocks
- poor law 1552- put the poor on a register and put pressures on the parishs to provide help
- in addition to this the fixation of prices and wages had already been delt with the laws passes 1548-9
- statute was not the first attempt to deal with the problem of vagrancy and the poor
- P2 However ...
- enhanced importance of skilled work and harvest
- forced under 30s to work on feilds
- introduced 7yr appreniships
- also showed a government awareness of local issues
- BUT...
- led to an increase in vagrancy in 1590s
- rigid control of wages = anger
- assesed wages in kent did not change 1563-88
- enhanced importance of skilled work and harvest
- P3 instead...
- poor law of 1598- relief = more significant
- was the first national system of poor relief = major turing point
- lasted well beyond 1603
- helped to build hospitals and houses of corrections in the localities
