Abstract

[The distinctive response to parliamentary legislation in the three case study areas is described as local administrators created solutions that would work in each area. There are common features including delegation to local sub-teams, administrative delayering, the deployment and empowerment of officials with greater experience and the greater use of the transfer of monies in paper form rather than coin. Traditional administrative roles including mayors, sheriffs, aldermen and justices of the peace were now populated by those doing well from a growing English economy. These men were appointed the chief administrators of the new levies and if they had to pay more tax, they would at least have a degree of process ownership and control.]
