Parmiter's Almshouse & Pension Charity
Parmiter's Almshouse & Pension Charity is a charity that has its origins in the will of Thomas Parmiter, a silk merchant from Bethnal Green.
==History==
In his will of 28 February 1681/2, Thomas Parmiter bequeathed funds for "six almshouses in some convenient place upon the waste of Bethnal Green and further for the building of one free school houses or room, wherein ten poor children of the hamlet of Bethnal Green may be taught to read or write".〔The Tower Hamlets Connection (p124) by Harold Finch - Published 1996〕 Thomas Parmiter died in 1688.
The first Parmiter's Almshouses were opened in John Street, now Grimsby Street, off Brick Lane in 1722, and were adjacent to the first school. Along with the school, the Almshouses moved to Gloucester Street, now Parmiter Street, Bethnal Green in 1839, where they remained in use until they were destroyed by a V2 rocket in February 1945. Parmiter's School moved to new premises in Approach Road, Bethnal Green in 1887, and in 1977 the school relocated to Garston, Hertfordshire.〔A history of the Parmiter's Estate Charity by Andrew Lewis & Brian Coulshed - Published 1999〕
Despite the school moving from Bethnal Green, links remain with the Almshouse & Pension Charity, as the out-pensioners of the Charity visit the school twice a year for a meal, and entertainment provided by the students.
