“…"Income is a potent determinant of stature" (Steckel [2008]: 136). When data on historical income are unavailable, as they often are for medieval Europe, social scientists thus approximate historical living standards with data on historical stature (see, for instance, Fogel [1994]; Steckel [1995]; Komlos and Baten [1998]; Steckel and Rose [2002]; Heyberger [2011]; Steckel et al [2018]). Data on medieval citizens' average heights across European territories come from medieval citizens' skeletal remains, dated and measured by archeologists.…”

We re-estimate the height of Englishmen using the sample originally collected by Roderick Floud. We merge the samples from the army and the Royal Marines by weighting the observations in order to reflect the proportions of servicemen in the two branches of the military. In addition to truncated regression, we use cubic spline functions in order to estimate the trend in the physical stature of Englishmen. The results indicate that a very rapid decline in height of c. 1.6 cm per decade accompanied the onset of the industrial and demographic revolutions, implying that the nutritional status of the population deteriorated considerably as it throughout the European Continent.Living Standards, Biological Standard of Living, Height, Physical Stature, England, Industrial Revolution, Welfare, Splines
