Woborn property rents
Rents of Properties owned by Woborn Almshouse
The Woborn Almshouse or hospital was founded in Yeovil under letters patent granted by King Edward IV, bearing the date 9th November 1476, in honour of St George and St Christopher, in Silver Street, Yeovil. The original Woborn Almshouse building was sited just behind the property that was to become the Pall Tavern, the site is occupied now by the Indian restaurant. The Pall Tavern, the Three Choughs Hotel, the George Inn and the Black Cock were for centuries owned by the Woborn Almshouse, among many other properties bequeathed down the centuries, and the rent of the buildings and land provided income for the Almshouse.
The following schedules give an excellent indication of 'who lived where', in which properties and how much they paid in rent.
1 - House and
Garden, Back
Street / South
Street.
Chief Rent: 6
shillings. Rack
Rent (that is,
an extortionate
rent) from 1823.
In this instance it appears that Richard Vining rented this South Street property which became 'in very bad repair'. Vining presumably renovated the property and certainly by 1822 the property had been divided into two cottages which Vining sub-let at an extortionate rent (see 1823 entry).
