Some of the action taken was specifically geared to avoid a return to wholesale vagrancy e.g. new law stating unemployed craftsmen were to turn up at the market cross and wait for an hour in order to try and be employed. The Norwich scheme relieved the poor as they recognized their existence, and from this created a census. This census was introduced after Ket's rebellion as they recognized the extent of the rebellion, and how many of those who joined were related to poverty and vagrancy. The census gave the Norwich officials the opportunity to see how many homeless, unemployed, poor, vagrant and employed poor there were in Norwich, therefore recognizing that there was a problem present, and perhaps giving them a bit of hope in society. The censuses were held regularly and as mentioned, were used to identify and quantify the poor. The larger town, particularly London and Norwich, anticipated government legislation in almost every respect, and provided visible evidence of the success of more humane methods of poor relief. .
Financially, Norwich had trebled the initial contributions and regularly collected and distributed such sums of money throughout the whole of the decade. This was designed to relieve the poor, and along with this, Norwich also provided limited educational opportunities and a medical hospital e.g. St Giles. Accommodation was also provided for the poor, and they were places in town property, private property or In church property. This is an example of how the church integrated within the municipal schemes, and this represents the relief given from the church through the use of municipal schemes. Figures suggest that 300 of the poor were housed in church property in Norwich. There were other municipal schemes present in the town of Ipswich and the city of London. Unfortunately, besides from Norwich, financial difficulties caused the collapse or virtual cessation of many of the municipal schemes, and they were further undermined by the fact that begging continued to be tolerated, even if this was theoretically confined to the impotent.
