Historically, Cambridgeshire's scattered population has hampered efforts to group areas for the purposes of administration. This survey of the application of the Poor Law in the county, from its codification under Queen Elizabeth I to the Amendment Act of 1834, highlights the significant variations that resulted from local autonomy.
