St. Mary’s Workhouse, Dover. |
| Listed below is a direct excerpt from the Governor's Day Book of St Mary's Workhouse, Dover. The Governor of the workhouse had to account for all the spending on a day to day basis and the listings below show all the entries and exits of the workhouse together with the amounts spent. The workhouse was, I believe, located in the vicinity of Market Street in Dover. The dates vary throughout the records. |
