RECORDS OF BEULAH JUNIOR SCHOOL
By 1864 there was a Surrey Congregational Union Chapel on the site of the present school. It was then in use as a school room. The Croydon School Board took over the building on 1 August 1871 and it was used as a girls' and infants' school until 1873 when the infants moved to a separate room. This is Croydon's oldest Board School by 14 days. Administrative papers: 1871 - 1890, CBC/3/2/11; 1891 - 1903, CBC/3/2/12; 1903 - 1924, CBC/3/2/13; 1924 - 1945, CBC/3/2/14. There is a history of the school in "The Beulah Story 1873-1973" by Albert E. Oliver in the Local History collection.

Croydon Parish: Vestry Records
Part of Croydon Parish Church
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'.

Croydon Parish: Trustees for Repairing the Parish Church Minute Books
Part of Croydon Parish Church
A Committee for the Repair of the Parish Church was appointed at a meeting of Croydon Vestry on 22 August and 8 September 1760: the early part of the first minute book records the meetings of this Committee. It promoted the passage of an Act of Parliament `for Repairing the Parish Church of Croydon', which was passed in 1761 (1 George III). The Committee then reconvened under the terms of the Act, and first met as the Trustees for Repairing the Parish Church on 23 March 1761. The initial estimate for the cost of necessary repairs was ú1500. The Trustees were mainly concerned with the practicalities of raising this money (which they did through various means, including borrowing money, the purchase of annuities, and the levying of Church Rates); and with making arrangements for carrying out various repairs. At a meeting on 29 April 1761, the Clerk was ordered to prepare a 'proper Minute Book'; a book for recording workmen's bills; an Annuity Book for recording payments and receipts relating to annuities; and a (general) Account Book. In fact, many of these other financial details continued to be recorded in the minute books.

Only the early part of this book is filled in. There are no entries after the meeting of 16 March 1792 although there is no obvious reason for this break.
