Folios 226-228. Workhouse Inspection Report Form from Baldwyn Fleming, Assistant Inspector of Poor Laws, to the Poor Law Board, reporting his inspection of the Newcastle under Lyme Poor Law Union Workhouse on 13 May 1869; includes details of medical provision, management of the school, the vagrant wards etc. The school is satisfactory, the schoolmaster is leaving to take up a post at a National School, but the schoolmistress is competent to teach the whole without assistance.

Vagrants: no labour test is enforced and no food given. Numbers have increased due to the strict regime at Stoke upon Trent Poor Law Union Workhouse two miles distant. Annotated: refer to Mr Doyle [Andrew Doyle, Poor Law Inspector] question of sending children to Stoke upon Trent School. Put by. Entered. Paper Number: 25582/1869. Poor Law Union Number: 421.
