Visualising the power of early modern petitioning

This a website by Sharon Howard for exploring and visualising data created by and for the Power of Petitioning in the 17th Century (TPOP). Most pieces are likely to be quite short, with commentary focusing on explanation of the visuals rather than discussion of findings.

In the first instance, because I’m writing a case study on Cheshire petitioning, I’m focusing on Cheshire petitions, followed by other Quarter Sessions petitions, and particularly on exploring themes that I want to think about in the study.
