Details
During this period there was a surge in support for King William III, who reigned as King of England, Scotland and Ireland, following the exposure of a Jacobite plan to assassinate him in 1696. A resolution, expressing condemnation of the plot was copied into the minute book on 16 April 1696 ‘with the names of all the Subscribers’. The names of 226 people, listed in three columns, are a form of census of the walled city at this time.
