T.F.T. BAKER ed., A history of the county of Middlesex, vol. XI, Early Stepney with Bethnal Green: The Victoria History of the Counties of England. Oxford University Press for the Institute of Historical Research, 1998. xxii + 298 pages. Illustrations, 45 plates and 31 maps and text figures, index. ISBN 0 197 22791 o. £65.00. This volume contains a history of medieval Stepney by Patricia Croot (86 pages), and by Diane Bolton, a history of modern Bethnal Green, part of Stepney and made a separate parish in 1743 (176 pages). It is the first V.C.H. study of the east end, a complex area about which no cautious historian would dare attempt a total history. The approach follows the usual V.C.H. arrangement, dealing with communications, settlement and building, manors and estates, economic history, government, public services, churches and charities, and its primary aim is to establish the chronological and institutional framework of the area from primary sources. The work is very scholarly. Patricia Croot's section traces the early history of Stepney, the property of the Bishop of London, which passed to the Wentworth family in the mid-sixteenth century, and was divided in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries into multiple ownership.
