The 17th-century incorporation movement established ‘houses of industry’ financed by parishes coming together to provide for their poor. In Loes and Wilford, east Suffolk, 33 parishes formed a rural incorporation, establishing Melton House of Industry with 350 inmates and provision for work, food, clothing, medical care and children’s education. Presenting Melton’s quarterly minute books, this volume offers a documentary account of what was then a revolutionary approach to poverty and to life in a house of industry.
