Croydon Parish: Vestry Records

The Vestry was the governing body of the parish, largely concerned with civil (non-ecclesiastical) matters. It comprised an assembly of all male ratepayers. The `Select Vestry' (technically a Parish Committee) was a smaller and more manageable committee of 5-20 householders, which dealt with matters relating to the poor. It was established at the Vestry meeting of 9 June 1819, under powers granted by the Sturges Bourne Act 1819, 'for the care and management of the concern of the poor'.

Initially referred to as the Meeting of Churchwardens and Overseers, but, after the first meeting, as the Parish Officers.

From 1April 1899 onwards, the volumes contain minutes of Parish Overseers' meetings only. F or Overseers' Accounts, see PR1/1/3/1/1-9 and PR1/1/3/2/1-5.

Croydon Parish: Overseers' Records

The office of Overseer of the Poor was created by the Poor Law Act of 1597/8, and made obligatory by the Poor Relief Act of 1601. At least two individuals were appointed annually by the the vestry, charged with levying an agreed poor rate and distributing the money raised amongst the poor of the parish. Overseers' responsibilities for poor relief were transferred to elected Guardians of the Poor in 1834, and thereafter their role was reduced to assessment and collection of rates. The office was abolished by the Rating and Valuation Act of 1925.
