Essex HA Taxing Death in the UK: Taxation that reflects its time in history

This Historical Association branch lecture explores how taxation linked to death has developed in the UK and what it reveals about changing historical contexts. The session looks at the ways tax policy has reflected the priorities, values and pressures of different periods in history, making it relevant to anyone interested in the evolution of British public life and institutions.

The event is led by lecturer Peter Allen and is organised by Essex HA. It is an in-person talk held at Trinity Methodist Church in Chelmsford, and visitors are welcome to attend without booking in advance.

The event is a good fit for history enthusiasts, members of the public, and anyone who enjoys lectures that connect policy, society and historical change.
