The relief of the Poor after the Dissolution of the Monastries was covered
by Poor Law Acts in the reign of Elizabeth I in 1601.
Further Acts followed in the
next 250 years. Villages could build poorhouses
(from 1732) and this was done in some parishes.
These local Incorporations are indicated by "-I" in their names.
Gilbert's Act 1782 enabled parishes to
group together forming a union (which are listed later) to build workhouses.
These are indicated by "-GU" in the name.
This replaced the parish basis of poor relief. Poor Law Unions were
brought in with Boards of Guardians. A number of Incorporations chose
not to join the new Unions although some did in later years.
