This could have been a dense book full of turgid data, but the authors have managed to combine a lot of detail in the necessary technical language with vignettes of the lives, homes and possessions of numerous families. From Vaughan and Wheler in the 17th century, the Grahams in the 18th and the Vernells in the 19th, we have a series of fascinating insights into the lives of the Spitalfields inhabitants and their changing worlds in this vibrant part of London.
