Raine’s Hospital, in Fowden Fields in the parish of St. George, Ratcliff Highway, a handsome building erected by Mr. Henry Raine, brewer, in the year 1737, who endowed it by a deed of gift with a perpetual annuity of 240l. per annum, and added the sum of 4000l. in South sea annuities, amounting to about 4400l. to be laid out in a purchase.
The children of this hospital, which contains forty-eight girls, are taken out of a parish school almost contiguous to it, erected in the year 1719, by the above Mr. Raine, at the expence of about 2000l. and he likewise endowed it with a perpetual annuity of 60l.
The children are supplied with all the necessaries of life, and taught to read, write, sew, and household work, to qualify them for service, to which they are put, after having been three years upon the foundation. Maitland.
