_Ann Parry_, in 1755, gave £60, being a benefaction intended by her
sister, Mary Tench, deceased, the interest to be given to eight poor
housekeepers, not burthensome to the parish; and in 1776 bequeathed £20,
the interest to be given annually to four poor widows. These two sums
were laid out in the year 1790 in pewing the church, and since that
period £4 has been annually paid out of the church rate.
_Elizabeth Price_, in 1780, bequeathed £50, the interest to be given in
bread to the poor of the parish. This money is lent to the guardians of
the house of industry.
_Edward Lloyd_, in 1789, left £190, the interest to be given to ten poor
housekeepers. This sum is secured by a bond given in pursuance of an act
of parliament passed for the rebuilding of the church of St. Chads, and
£4 10s. is paid annually as the interest thereof.
_Richard Lister_, in 1793, bequeathed £100, and directed the interest to
be laid out in bread and given to the poor after divine service every
Sunday morning. In respect of this gift there is the sum of £154 14s.
10d. three per cent consols, producing annually dividends to the amount
of £4. 12s. 8d.
_Pemberton’s Charity_. The particulars of this charity will be found
amongst those for the parish of St. Alkmund. The sum of £2. 2s. is
expended annually in coal, and distributed amongst poor housekeepers.
_Lost Charities_. In the parliamentary returns of 1786 there is
mentioned a legacy left by Madam Honor Dryden, and several others,
amounting in the whole to £180. This sum was in the hands of a person
who became insolvent, and only £19 9s. was received from his estate.
Nothing is now known even of this sum.
PARISH OF ST. JULIAN.
