The care of the poor and needy on the Isle of Man was not regulated by the government until the late 19th century. Unlike England, which instituted parish relief to the poor in the 16th century, the Isle of Man relied on the moral conscience of individual families (backed by the ecclesiastical court), money left in wills to the poor of the parish, and contributions collected at church on Sunday to care for the poor. | The care of the poor and needy on the Isle of Man was not regulated by the government until the late 19th century.
