_John Price_ bequeathed £100, and directed the interest of £25 to be
applied in the education of youth, and the interest of £75 to be bestowed
in clothing for some of the poorest parishioners. The amount is secured
on a piece of land in Weston Rhynn, from which £5 are paid yearly.
There are two cottages in the township of Soutley, in the parish of March
Weil, Denbighshire, adjoining premises purchased by the governors of
Queen Ann’s Bounty, for the augmentation of the vicarage of St. Martin’s.
These cottages have for a length of time been let for the benefit of the
poor; but it is not known when or how the rents became thus appropriated.
They were repaired some time ago at an expense of £30, which was borrowed
for this purpose, and they are now let for £6 a-year. Of the rent, £3 is
applied in paying off the debt, and the remaining £3 is given among the
poor on St. Thomas’s day.
_Hugh Lloyd_ left a rent-charge of 16s. per annum, issuing out of certain
lands, called Cae Dickin, in Weston Rhynn, and directed the amount to be
expended in sixteen dozen of bread, to be distributed on St. Thomas’s
day. It is stated on the table of benefactions, that “Richard Berkley,
for Hugh Lloyd, pays for ten dozen of bread on St. Thomas’s day for
ever.” The gift of _Edward Edwards_, of 20s. per annum to the poor of
St. Martin’s, is void under the statute of 9 George II. It is stated in
the parliamentary returns of 1786, that _David Hughes_ left £10 for the
benefit of the poor; and among the parish documents there is a bond,
dated in 1746, from Thomas Phillips, of Trehowell, for the payment of
this money. Nothing, however, has been paid on this account for many
years.
