Title Christmas alms
Description Account book of the parish of Pembridge showing recipients of money and bread in 1837. As with many parishes, the donations came from a specific fund, in this case the Vaughan charity. There was no question that the poor of the parish should avoid the stigma of having their identities revealed. In addition to being named in the register, they were to be presented with the money in the church.
