Description

Norfolk.- The Town Book of Smallburgh, manuscript in several hand, 345pp., ruled in red throughout, text a little faded at times, occasional small marginal tears, light worming to lower margins and upper margin of final 20 leaves, browned, original vellum, lettered direct on upper cover, faded almost entirely, later manuscript title at upper margin, rebacked, ledger folio, 1777-1837.

A primary source recording the poor rate collections, disbursements and expenses for the village of Smallburgh in the County of Norfolk over a period of 60 years. In 1801 Smallburgh, 14 miles north east of Norwich, was a village of 63 houses, 85 families and 699 people. A workhouse or 'house of industry' was built in 1725 and extended in 1836. In 1821 it contained 131 males and 107 females; an entry in this volume notes a payment for 'carrying the poor to the house of industry'. Covering a period of 60 years, this ledger provides an exceptionally detailed account of all the payments and collections made on behalf of the villagers, who contributed funds and who received them, either as a person 'in want' or those contributing to the administration of the village.
