Notes:  
  The Feoffee was a charity which owned several properties and provide aid to the poor from the income derived from these properties.
  Feoffee payment ledgers survive for the period 1766 to 1866.  During this period, it appears that the Feoffee owned Stafford House and was running it as a work house.
  The payment are of two types:
support payments to beneficiaries, occasionally with a brief explanation of why the support was needed

payments for services or taxes, usually connected with the maintenance of feoffee properties, sometimes with an indication of the work
  Most of the support payments are made in the winter months, presumably because there was insufficient agricultural work to provide employment for everyone in these months.
