This article seeks to re-examine mid nineteenth century`home missionary' activity or domestic visiting. It focuses on Manchester, a typical urban case in that it could boast an almost bewildering array of associations which sponsored such visiting, whose supporters were ever willing to laud the impact of their activities. It argues, however, that closer examination suggests that the feverish activity and public vindications masked deep flaws. The social geography of the city prevented them from either covering the whole community or from visiting comprehensively within those areas which were occupied. The visits were asked to bear an ideological load which far outstripped their capacity. While missionaries could help sustain a vibrant and significant minority religious sub-culture in the`slums', they were scarcely the agents of social discipline suggested by recent commentators.
