When I went through this post previously the "vagrants" sign stirred my recollections of the New England practice of "warning out" individuals or families moving into a town. [late 1700's-early 1800's] It was a curious practice in that a family didn't need to be indigent or have a history of 'vagrancy' to be warned off. It seems to have been a way in which the town fathers made it clear that should a family become needy due to illness or misfortune they mustn't expect the town to come to their aide.<br />In getting side-tracked to that bit of history I didn't post my intended comment.<br />Your photos taken on various walks and bike rides would make wonderful displays for a library or on the wall of a local eatery--they deserve a public viewing!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-54143291502184622722011-10-27T09:43:18.247+01:002011-10-27T09:43:18.247+01:00I've eally enjoyed your Pedaller's Tale - ...I've eally enjoyed your Pedaller's Tale - I like the hares on the thatched roof. Having found records of a couple of ancestors being moved back to their original parish because they needed poor relief and found settlement papers for others I can relate to the vagrancy sign:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-6538485113522530462011-10-27T09:29:34.889+01:002011-10-27T09:29:34.889+01:00Thank you all.
