Title
L1783 - Navvy mission room at Staverton, Northamptonshire
Description
L1783 - A barn at Staverton, Northamptonshire, converted into a navvy mission reading room. Despite the navvy having lost some of the fearsome reputation he had acquired in the mid-nineteenth century, the 1890s were still subject to a moralistic Victorian tone, and the godless, unruly navvies remained ripe for conversion. Given the simplicity of the buildings, their furnishings and indeed the religious message found within, these stations often achieved substantial support from the navvy communities they served.
