Charity plan for midwives and parish support in London
An 18th century notice proposes that London and Westminster parishes subscribe to fund the maintenance of poor lying-in women. Eligible women would be sent to a designated lying-in apartment where they receive medical attendance and medicines gratis. The plan argues such charity saves subsistence costs for families and reduces risk during childbirth. It also lists several sales notices for horses, stock, painters tools, and a large assortment of goods from warehouses and shops in Fleet Street, the Strand, and nearby areas.
