Whittal’s rents, Long lane.†
Whittington’s Almshouse, Sir Richard Whittington several times Mayor of this city, about the year 1413, founded a college on the north side of the church of St. Michael Pater Noster, for a master, four fellows, clerks, choristers, &c. together with an almshouse for thirteen poor men; one of whom to be tutor, with a salary of 1s. 4d. per week, and the twelve others 1s. 2d. each, with necessary provisions. The college was dissolved by act of parliament in the reign of Edward VI. but the almshouse situated upon College hill still remains under the direction of the mercers company; who, besides a handsome room for the use of each of the pensioners, allow them 3s. 10d. per week, and the men every third year coats and breeches, and the women, who are now also admitted, have gowns and petticoats.
