Rhayader Care of the poor |
Poor relief for the Hamer family | ||
Although the Rhayader Union did not
at first have a workhouse, this did not mean
that the poor in the area were made comfortable. The Hamer family of Rhayader
got into difficulties, and were given just 4/6d (about
23p) per week relief. |

This
means that all help to John Hamer's
family was stopped until he sold these belongings. The house may have
been fairly empty by the time help was paid to the family again ! Back to Rhayader Care of the poor menu
