Index of Georgian Articles, 1688 - 1840    
Strictly speaking, the Georgian period covers the Kings of England from George I to George IV, in other words 1714 to 1830. But sometimes people use the term the Long Georgian Period (or Long Eighteenth Century) to cover the end of the Stuart era with the exile of James II in 1688 until the death of William IV in 1837.

Of course, defining periods by monarchs isn't greatly helpful for local history and we have extended our Box history to include the longer period from the heyday of the Speke family until the 1840 Tithe Apportionment Act. All corrections, comments and contributions welcomed.
