Important provisions were finalised in no more than a few days. But once the settlement of the poor was set in law it became an agent of historical change that affected society, state formation, and the lives of millions in Britain and beyond for centuries to come. Within a few decades, practices of local government were transformed. \u003cem\u003eThe Settlement of the Poor in England\u003c\/em\u003e is about social change and about history's unintended consequences. It is also about the struggles and experiences of individuals and communities. It reminds us how the settlement legislation still resonates today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEvent Timings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e6:00pm - doors open\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e6:15pm - talk begins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e6:45pm - Q\u0026amp;A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e7:15pm - drinks and chat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e7:30pm - end\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessibility Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSeating is available for 40 attendees (maximum) plus standing space.
