Extract

In the first part of this study, attention was focused primarily on three organisations; first, the Society of Charitable Sisters, founded in 1814, a society unique in Catholic affairs of the time, being a voluntary self regulating society of lay women, married and single, who devoted their lives to assisting the impoverished in London; second, the Catholic Club founded by W.E. Andrews, also in 1814, with the purpose of bringing together the Catholic artisan and working class Catholics to collaborate in raising funds for a variety of charities; third the evolution of Catholic libraries in London from 1822, which generated unexpected and fruitful diversification. What became clear from the study of these three groups and others connected to them was the range and variety of the charities and the fact that many of these were established and run by people from the working and artisan classes, a large proportion of whom were Irish.

16 Miss Trelawney was the daughter of Sir Henry Trelawney. Sir Henry had been ordained in the Church of England; he later became a Roman Catholic and wished to be re-ordained. Rome would not permit this while his wife was alive. After her death he was re-ordained in 1830 and died in 1834 in his 74th year. Miss Trelawney devoted her life to assisting the poor Catholics of Somerstown, and defrayed the costs of 40 children from her own resources. She was supported in her work by her mother (who never became a Roman Catholic.)

17 There were very many charity sermons preached but relatively few that were subsequently printed and published for the benefit of the particular charity.
