The Purvis Almshouses were conveyed upon trust in 1827, to permit from five to seven poor aged women, and one poor aged
man, to dwell free from all rent and expense, the appointment resting with the rector of the parish, froim the inhabitants, whether
legally settled or not, “such persons only to be chosen who by their poverty should be wholly incapable for providing
themselves with lodging without great difficulty, who bear a good, sober, industrious, honest, and peaceable character, and are
regular in their attendance at their parish church.”
The Rector may turn them out of the almshouses whom he may judge “by their disorderly or improper conduct, by wilful
absence from church, or for any other cause.”
£500 Three per cent Consolidated Bank Annuities was settled upon trust after paying the costs of the trust, to apply a
competent part of the dividends to repairs and distribute (after the death of Amy Loetitia Purvis) the residue in coals, clothing
or money among the inmates of the cottages.
