Skinners’ History Workshop – Documents 1-5 & 7

Presentation on documents 1-5 and 7

Dates of documents: 1815-1819

Documents consist of handwritten notes, lists, correspondence received, & part of a report on a visitation to Tonbridge.

Subject matter: the distribution of the Skinners’ Company’s Sir Thomas Smythe Charity donations to recipients.

These documents may appear unremarkable, but I find them exciting. In the time allowed I hope to highlight 3 strands:

  • People
  • Philanthropy in action
  • Importance of social history context
