- Content
- Folios 216-217. Workhouse Inspection Report Form from Lord Courtenay, Poor Law Inspector, to the Poor Law Board, reporting his inspection of the Southampton Incorporation Workhouse on 18 June 1849; includes details of medical provision, management of school, the vagrant wards, numbers of inmates. This is the first [full official] visit he reports the workhouse is inadequate and its internal arrangements very unsatisfactory. In relation to the staff of the school he merely comments 'neither appears to be very well qualified' and refers to his earlier visit 16389/1849. He notes that the master's books are properly kept, but not quite made up to this period. No other prescribed books seem to be kept though. Paper Number: 18520/1849. Poor Law Union Number 407. Counties: Hampshire.
