The Period After The Reformation Saw Not Only The Survival Of Many Medieval Institutions But Also A Remarkable Number Of New Foundations, As People From Many Different Backgrounds Used Their Wealth To Revive And Remodel This Ancient Form Of Provision To Meet New Needs. This Book Addresses A Neglected Element Of English Welfare History, Examining The Role And Significance Of English Almshouses In The Period 1550 1725 And The Contribution They Made Within The Developing Welfare Systems Of The Time.Drawing On Archival Evidence, The Book Analyses Why Almshouses Were Founded And The Reasons For The Continuing Popularity Of This Particular Form Of Charity; Who The Occupants Were; What Benefits They Received; And How Residents Wereexpected To Live Their Lives. It Challenges The Assumption That Postreformation Almshouses Were Places Of Privilege For The Respectable Deserving Poor And Reveals A Surprising Variation In The Socioeconomic Status Of Almspeopleand Their Experience Of Almshouse Life.

Many Almshouses Played An Integral Role In The Early Welfare Provision Of Their Local Communities, Yet, Ultimately, Their Significance Was Affected By The Emergence Of Harsher Public Provision In The New Workhouses Of The Eighteenth And Nineteenth Centuries.Angela Nicholls Is Associate Fellow At The University Of Warwick
