30 August 1912:
At a meeting of the Warminster Board of Guardians it was stated that in the past fortnight 54 casuals had been relieved at the Workhouse – compared to 20 during the corresponding period the previous year.
The Chairman, Rev. G.H.S. Atwood; the Clerk, and Mr. E.H. Pike, all agreed that the increase was due to recent wet weather.
