According to Lee “at the present time [1857] eight poor women reside in the Alms House; each having a room rent free and receiving about 30s a year from different benefactions left for that purpose. when a vacany occurs the Feoffees fill it up.” By 1919 the sum received was about £2 2s 8d per year per woman plus entitlement to claim relief under a bequest of Dr Richard Filkin. Monies left for the benefit of the Almshouse charities include £50 left by Esther Clark 1774; £20 by Eleanor Ludlow 1804; £20 by Sarah Ludlow 1816 |
