1871 Cencus Job Description

Hi,
Does anyone with access to the 1871 cencus fancy taking a look and helping me with a new pair of eyes to work out a job description?

Mary Newstead (Widow)age 58, born 1813, Ferry, Yorkshire. Living with 4 sons all Ag Labourers.

The 1881 cencus reads "Annuitant" (someone receiving a pension similar to old age pension today, according to Rootschat).
No occupation is listed in 1861, her husband is an Ag Labourer.

Thanks
Kazbat

I think it's 'chairwoman', a common variant of charwoman.
