Julian Pooley

A Burden on the Parish

Julian, Public Services and Engagement Manager, at Surrey History Centre will discuss the range of sources for the history of poor relief in Surrey from the sixteenth century to the eve of the Second World War. Parish records, family papers, quarter sessions records, charity and business papers, early printed sources and even illustrations can all provide vivid insights into the plight of the poor and the duties of those responsible for helping them.
