Description (What the record is about)

- Content
- Folios 53-55. Petition from the proprietors, occupiers and tenants in the parish of Sawbridgeworth to the Poor Law Commission, informing them of their wish not to unite with Bishops Stortford, Thorley and others for workhouse purposes. The parish is entirely agricultural and recent additions to the workhouse afford more accommodation for the poor. Good management has always been achieved except in the winter when the able bodied labourers, who have spent their summer wages, expect the workhouse to provide work or relief. By allotting land and finding work, arson and rioting have been avoided, and the parish would prefer to manage the new laws. They are concerned that the Sawbridgeworth workhouse will become redundant, whilst at the same time the parish is paying a levy to meet the expense of building the workhouse in Bishops Stortford.
