Charities of Banbury.

The Charities of Banbury, as abstracted from the reports of the Commissioners for enquiring respecting charities, printed by the order of the house of commons in 1839.

For the particulars of the Blue-coat School and the Sunday School Charities see page 420.

The Bridge and Highway's Estate, consisting of several houses, shops &c., yields an annual rental of about £70.

Widow's Groats - The sum of £9 12s 10d per annum, is received by the corporation out of a payment of £10 10s 10d charged upon the land revenues of the crown, the remainder being deducted for fees and expenses. This sum is distributed at 4d per week to eight of the poor widows in the almshouses.

Richard Pleston, in 1681, gave rent charge of 40s yearly to be disposed of in bread to the poor; one moiety to be given Christmas week, and the other in Easter week.

Joshua Sprigg, by will dated 6th June, 1684, bequeathed to the corporation of Banbury the sum of £500, for building a workhouse, and to set the poor on work; viz., £400 to build, and £100 for a stock. By a decree in the court of chancery, dated 12th Feb., 1706, in a cause of the attorney-general versus Sprigg and others, it was ordered, that the defendant, William Sprigg, should pay to the corporation of Banbury the said sum of £500 and £515, being the interest found to be due thereon by the master, at the time of making his report, with the subsequent interest on the said two sums, form the 29th Nov. preceding. These sums were paid, and £100 left by a Mr Metcalfe for the use of the workhouse was added, and the workhouse was built. The sum of £750 was then placed in the hands of lord Guildford, at an annual interest of 4 per cent.

Thomas Abraham, alias Metcalfe, by will dated July 22nd, 1712, left a rent charge of £13 per annum; £10 part thereof to be expended every other year in apprenticing two poor boys born in the town of Banbury; and every other year to dispose of £10 in clothing six poor widows of Banbury.

Mary Abraham, alias Metcalfe, widow, by will dated 11th May, 1723, bequeathed a rent charge of £15, per annum, to be disposed of as follows: £5 to the church school, upon condition that the schoolmaster should read or cause to be read, divine service in the parish church every Wednesday and Friday throughout the year, and also on other days in the week, if the vicar should necessarily be absent; £5 to be distributed to the sick poor; and £5 to six poor families of Banbury, to be given ion bread weekly; and by a codicil to her will, of the same date, she gave an annual rent charge of 40s to the charity school of the parish, as long as the children should be brought up in the doctrine of the church of England, as by law established.

Henry Abraham alias Metcalfe, in 1746, left £100 stock in the old south sea annuities, the dividends to be disposed of yearly on St Thomas's day, among the poor of Banbury. He also gave £50 more of the said stock to apply the dividends to the use of the charity school.

The Countess of Arran's Charity for apprenticing children consists of the site of dwelling house, yard and garden; a house, yard, and shed; and £100, stock, 3 per cent, reduced annuities. The annual income of this charity in 1839, according to the commissioners report was £33, subject to a deduction of 8s per annum, for insurance. The children that are placed out, are generally taken from the national school.

Smith's Charity. - The parish of Banbury is entitled to a share of the rents of an estate at Telescomb, in Sussex, which forms part of the extensive charities of Henry Smith. The proportion of the rents transmitted by the treasurer to the churchwardens of Banbury, is about £35 per annum. 3
