Abstract:		 English clerical incumbents who lived and functioned in the immediate post-1945 period were much more fortunate than those who worked in the inter-war period. Their expectations were different from those who had waited in vain for the return of young men from the trenches after 1918. It was a period of relative stability. Throughout England as a whole the number of Easter Day communicants in parish churches rose from 1,728,940 in 1947 to 1,899,469 in 1956. Between 1956 and 1962 there was an increase to more than two million. Electoral rolls varied very little, from 2,989,704 in 1947 to 2,682,181 in 1966. At the same time the number of benefices fell from 12,838 in 1951 to 11,314 in 1966, while the total number of incumbents was reduced from 11,300 in 1951 to 10,198 in 1966. The total assistant curates, however, increased from 2,200 in 1951 to 3,262 in 1966, indicating that there were plenty of men prepared to put themselves forward for ordination.
