Description (What the record is about)
-
Although a system of poor rating and relief for the entire borough was not legally established until 1771, the magistrates and corporation had considerable control over the overseers of each parish and were able to impose some standardisation. As a result, these volumes are to be found amongst the corporation's records rather than in the parish chests.
