Description | In this volume, as in the previous ones, many payments seem to relate to the poor and for the five years 1737-42 the payments are separated under the headings "Such part of ... Accounts as properly belong to Churchwardens" and "Such part ... as properly belong to the Overseers of the Poor"; from the year 1742-43 these payments to the poor cease. Inserted are minutes of meetings relating to the erection of a workhouse, 8 April 1740, and, inserted or included, to the repairing and putting in order of a house taken for a workhouse and to the managing of it, 1740-44. |
