Alms House Matron. 1970

[CaptainSlow]

A marriage certificate states that gran was a "Retired Alms House Matron". Can anyone tell me how many Alms Houses were in Oxford in the 1970s and maybe who to contact for any further information?

Many thanks.

Have you tried a google search?

Present day one has this list:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_almshouses_in_the_United_Kingdom#Oxfordshire

Which does not look very good - got more from my google search.

e.g.:
