Research Note: The book "History of Burford", by William John Monk (1891, pages 99-101) states the following about an "Osmond"--who may have been William Osmond (chr.1633): "The Burford poor throughout the 18th century [1700's] seem to have cost the ratepayers sums varying from 300 to 400 per annum. [In] 1716: Paid Osmond for making the wall at the Workhouse next the Almshouse. ...The chief difficulty of the Vestry seems to have been the management of the Workhouse, of which a Mr. Robertson was Master at this time. Great discontent appears to have been caused by a bill which he produced against the Parish, and it was resolved only to pay a part of it; but in less than a week after this resolution was made, the friends of Mr. Robertson called another meeting and resolved the account should be paid in full. This may be taken as a fair sample of their mode of procedure, if we add that the Vestry met at the Church in the morning, adjourned to the Tolsey, and from thence to the 'King's Arms' or some other hostelry--though usually the 'King's Arms' was chosen, as Mr. Osman, the landlord, frequently officiated as chairman at these Vestries."
