Clara E Grant. Fern St Settlement, Bromley by Bow E3, septuagesima? Sunday 1932" Clara Ellen Grant OBE (21 June 1867 - 10 October 1949), known as 'The Farthing Bundle Woman of Bow', was an educator, a pioneer in London of infant children's education, and a social reformer. She founded in 1907 the Fern Street Settlement, set up to feed and clothe poor and hungry children in the East End of London. Clara gave her life to helping the poor of the East End, Fern Street Settlement is still working as a charity in the East End carrying on Clara's work. What exactly was a farthing bundle? It was a bundle that included donated items such as small toys (or even items like blocks of wood made into toys), chalks or pencils, given out to small children, in exchange for a farthing, which was worth a quarter of a penny. Understandably, they were incredibly popular. A wooden arch was used to measure the height of the children trying to get a bundle, in an attempt to say who was eligible. It said "enter all ye children small, none can come who are too tall". Donors to the bundles even included Queen Mary, wife of George V, and grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II. Signed by Author(s).
