The almshouses of the Jesus Hospital in Guisborough... Founded in 1561 by Robert Pursglove, the hospital had the dual function of educating the young and caring for the old
... for over three hundred years, the almshouses provided a safe haven for hundreds of destitute elderly men and women.
Pensioners had to be over sixty years of age, be resident in Cleveland, and to have lived there for at least three years. Residents of the parish of Guisborough were given priority, and pensioners were to be selected according to their need. Married persons and those with any income were not allowed to be admitted, no matter how small the income.
The life expectancy of pensioners once admitted could be anything from a few months to several years.... the point of the almshouses was to shelter, feed and clothe the elderly poor until they died. The hospital did not, however, regularly fund their funerals.
Compared with other poor elderly of the time, they got a lot. They had a room, which they shared with one other person. There were locks on the doors, implying security and a certain measure of privacy. They were given clothes, a weekly stipend – which Robert Pursglove called their ‘weekly relief’ – to cover their food and living costs, and a collective pot of forty shillings a year for the repair of their bedding, clothes and other items. The Wardens and Master oversaw the spending of this forty shillings, but their weekly stipend – initially a shilling a week – was spent by the pensioners themselves. The almshouse pensioners had a level of personal freedom and independence that inmates of workhouses and poorhouses seldom enjoyed.
in the 1860s that the almsfolk came into the school room every morning to pray with the Master and the school children.
The almsfolk were expected to stay in the almshouses at night, and it counted as poor behaviour if they stayed out drinking too long or drank too much. They could, however, visit family or friends elsewhere for a total of up to thirty days a year, and longer with the permission of the Wardens.
Unlike in poorhouses and workhouses of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the pensioners were not expected to work
All this ended in the 1880s. Sir Joseph Pease led the reconstitution of the free grammar school, and founded Guisborough Grammar School with the capital and resources of the Jesus Hospital. The pensioners were out-pensioned and the amount devoted to them sharply decreased, but payments continued for a surprisingly long time with coal money still being paid out into the 1970s.
