Description

Life for Francis Witts is more settled. Victoria has ascended the throne and Francis is now Chairman of the Board of Governors of Stow-on-the-Wold Union Workhouse, a position he takes seriously and maintains until his death. The diaries throw much light onto the setting up of the Unions and the harsh routine there. He does not disapprove of charity being shown to the inmates but is most unhappy at the suggestion that they be allowed to enjoy the Coronation celebrations.
