The remaining portion of the original property, now known as the Campden Bequests, is of a still more interesting character. In 1651, one Thomas Coppin, in consideration of the sum of £45, sold to the same Sir John Thorowgood and eleven of the parishioners and their heirs, “all that land with the appurtenances at the gravel pits in Kensington, containing two acres, in the occupation of Richard Barton.” No trust was declared in this conveyance, but subsequent occurrences leave no doubt that it was intended for purposes similar to those provided for by Lord and Lady Campden’s wills. And the purchase having been made so shortly after the two others, and at a time when the great Oliver Cromwell was the ruler of the country under the title of Protector, and when he held property in the parish, added to the circumstance that the gift was always traditionally ascribed to him and known as Cromwell’s gift, appear to leave no real doubt that it is to Oliver Cromwell that the parish owes this addition to the charities. It will be seen that this gift and purchase has proved no less profitable to the parish than the two others. Let us pause for a moment, and see of what the property of the Campden Bequests then consisted. Purchased in 1635 from Lord Campden’s gift, Charecrofts, 14 £220 acres, costing Purchased in 1645 from Lady Campden, Butt’s Field (say), 6½ 200 acres, costing Purchased in 1651 from Cromwell, Gravel Pits, 2 acres, 45 costing Total, 22½ acres, costing £465 Let us now endeavour to identify these properties. I can make you understand where Charecrofts is situated by telling you that the Shepherd’s Bush Station of the London and South Western Railway now occupies a portion of the site. Butt’s Field comprises the frontage to the Kensington Road extending from Gloucester Road on the west, eastward about 140 feet to Palace Gate, and from the Kensington Road southwards to and including the whole of the premises known as Kensington Gate. The Gravel Pits are now occupied by Clanricarde Gardens, and the six shops known as Nos. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12, High Street, Notting Hill.
