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.
