  • Article 1 : the Relief of Sutton's Poor, Part II

    Article 1 : the Relief of Sutton's Poor, Part II

    THE RELIEF OF SUTTON'S POOR, PART II: Sutton and the Aston Board of Guardians of the Poor BY MIKE HINSON In a previous article, published in the Research Group's Proceedings, Vol 4: Spring 1997, the present author described the relief of Sutton's poor under the Old Poor Law, 1601—1836. The account is continued in this article which describes the relief of Sutton's poor during the early years of the New Poor Law, enacted in 1836. Widespread Distrust The 1601 Poor Law Act (43 Elizabeth I), commonly known as the Old Poor Law, relied on the parish as a unit of government and upon unpaid non—professional administrators. This resulted in the creation of a vast but rather inefficient system of social welfare, roughly adapted to the requirements of the society of the day, and based on close relationships within the village and hamlet (1). Overall, there was an absence of any consistent model of practice. This resulted in considerable geographical variation in the interpretation and implementation of the legislation. In Warwickshire, disputes within and between parishes were frequently sorted out by the Justices of the Peace at Quarter Sessions. A Commission of Enquiry established by the government carried out its work during 1832 and 1833. Having studied local systems in operation, its main proposals and recommendations were: - That there should be national uniformity in the treatment of each class of paupers, so that every applicant of any class might receive identical treatment wherever he or she might reside. - Outdoor relief to the able—bodied and their families should be abolished.
