| Description | Surviving records for the House Committee date from 1872, and they continue up until the amalgamation of the Birmingham, Aston and King's Norton Unions in 1912. At the beginning of GP KN/2/5/1, the Committee is originally referred to as the Visiting Committee, and its remit appears to be concerned with the Workhouse buildings, and the infirmary and school. At the next meeting, in August 1872, the name of the Committee had changed, to that of the Visiting and School Committee, although its responsibilities appear to have remained the same. A final change occurred in 1873, when it became known as the House Committee. Again, it concerned itself with the fixtures, fittings and fabric of the Union buildings. Unless stated otherwise, the volumes are not indexed, and in most cases the minutes are very much lacking in detail. |
