Shaftesbury and Arethusa Boys Homes, Royston, Hertfordshire
The Shaftesbury & Arethusa Boys Homes at Royston, Hertfordshire, were set up by the National Refuge for Homeless and Destitute Children, founded in 1843 by William Williams. The Earl of Shaftesburys patronage helped the charity acquire two redundant naval vessels, the Chichester and Arethusa, for use as training ships. In 1904, the charity became Shaftesbury Homes and Arethusa
