Rudolf led a deputation to Archibald Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury to establish Church of England children's homes as an alternative to the large workhouses and orphanages common at that time. In 1881, the Church of England Central Home for Waifs and Strays was registered. It took the name Church of England Incorporated Society for Providing Homes for Waifs and Strays in 1893. In 1946, the title was changed to the Church of England Children's Society and it adopted the informal title of The Children's Society in 1982. More information...
