Overseer's Accounts: Rates to the Poor 1679
Reference: MIC/R/1464

Transcribed by Louise Haywood

The Parish Officers (the Overseers) kept careful accounts of the money that they raised for the poor of the parish. This rate was based on the value of a person's owned or leased property. The rate was set every Easter and could be raised or lowered depending on how much support was needed for the poor. This is the account (listed in shillings, pence and farthings) for the parish of Corfe Castle for the year 1679.
