It would take too long to describe the various uses to which these sites have been put, and all the applications of the income derived from them. Suffice it to say, that the whole was always conscientiously applied to the purposes intended by their donors, except, that under an Act of Parliament passed in 1777 the original parish workhouse was built upon that part of Butt’s Field where Kensington Gate now stands, and the Act provided that the then existing rents of the three estates, amounting to £54, should be applied to the apprenticing of poor boys, but that any further rents that might be obtained beyond that sum should be applied in aid of the parish rates until the expense incurred in erecting the workhouse should be discharged. And accordingly they were so applied until Lady Day of 1816. This, no doubt, was a perversion of the fund, because, although the workhouse was for the relief of the poor, still by law all the parishioners were rated for that purpose, the rich as well as the poor; and in proportion as anyone was relieved from the payment of rates, so was the money diverted from the poor intended to be objects of the bounty. However, this distinction in 1777 escaped attention; but in the report of 1810, to which I have alluded, the point was strongly made, and since 1816 the whole income has been applied to its proper purpose. As we have seen, in 1777 the total receipts from the lands were £54. In 1810 the Charecroft Estate £103 0 0 per annum. produced „ Butt’s „ „ 39 17 6 „ ,, Gravel Pits „ „ 38 0 0 Total £180 17 6 „ of which £54 was applied to putting out apprentices, £29 to pay two remaining annuities; the amount necessary for building the workhouse having been obtained by the then fashionable expedient of settling life annuities, while the balance of £97 17_s._ 6_d._ was applied in aid of poor rates. Let me now approach much nearer our own times, and, by referring to an elaborate report of the trustees of Campden’s Bequest appointed for the purpose in December, 1853, ascertain what was the income derived from these lands in 1854. Among the trustees at that time there were some well known persons, including the Venerable Archdeacon Sinclair, the then Vicar of Kensington, who many of us now present can well remember; the Rev. Dr. Hessey, Vicar of S. Barnabas; Sir Henry Cole, C.B., well known to many of us in connection with the South Kensington Museum; the Rev. E. P. Denniss, Vicar of S. John’s, Notting Hill; and Dr. Frost, of Ladbroke Square; who, if I mistake not, is the same Charles Maynard Frost who yet remains an active trustee of the charity.
