I am reading a book called, 'Inspections and Reports on Dwellings: Assessing Age'. I came across this bit that reminded me of Dorothy's interest in cottages:

"Concerns about the poor living conditions of farmworkers began to be expressed by humanitarian reformers from 1775, but improvement was slow until the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 removed financial disincentives and numerous farmworker cottagers began to be built, often by speculators."


When did Will Ladislaw become an MP?

Hello kev!

It's not 'Dorothy' it's 'Dorothea'. :)

Thanks for reminding me. You don't meet many Dorothea's these days.
