Description | The first accounts are for the construction and furnishing of the House of Industry. There is also an account of £1,199.17s. subscribed and raised by the united parishes of Meriden, Bickenhill, Great and Little Packington. The accounts go on to become balance sheets of income and expenditure. A schoolmaster was paid £11 p.a. The balances are regularly signed by Lord Aylesford as visitor or W. Digby and the Rev. A. Bliss, deputy visitors. A new building is mentioned in 1799. |
