[1861. NOTICE JN REFERENCE TO BEQUESTS. As the kind intentions of some of the deceased friends of the Society have been ren­ dered abortive for want of correct knowledge of the law relating to Charitable Bequests, the Committee call special attention to the following directions :— By Statute 6 Geo. IT. cap. 36, commonly called the Mortmain Act, it is enacted, Section ], that after the 24th Jnne, 1736, “ no manors,lands, tenement«, rents, advowsons, or other hereditaments, cor- eal or incorporeal, 'whatsoever; nor any Burner sums of money, Roods, chattels, stocks in the pnblic Cda, securities for money, or any other personal estate whatsoever, to be laid out or disposed of in the purchase of any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, shall be given, granted, alienated, limited, released, transferred, assigned, or appointed, or any ways conveyed or settled to, or upon, any person or persons, bodies politic or corporate, or otherwise, for any estate or interest whatsoever, or any ways charged or incumbered by any person or persons whatsoever in trust, or for the benefit of any charitable uses whatsoever, o n i æ s s such gift, conveyance, appointment, or settlement of any such lands, tenements, or hereditaments, sum or sums of money, or personal estates (other than stocks in the public funds) be, and be made by d e e d , indented, sealed ami delivered, in the presence of two or more credible witnesses, twelve calendar months at least b e f o r e t h e d e a t h of such donor or grantor (including the days of the execution and death), and be enrolled in Sis Majesty's High Court of Chancery, within six calendar months next after the execution thereof; a n d u n l e s s such s t o c k s be transferred in the public books usually keptfor the transfer of stock, stx calendar months at least before the death of such donor or grantor (including the days of the transfer and death), a n d u n l e s s the same be made to take effect in p o s s e s ­ sion for the charitable uses intended immediately from the making thereof; a n d b k w i t h o u t any power Of revocation, reservation, trust, condition, limitation clause or agreement whatsoever, for the benefit of the donor or grantor, or any person or persons claiming under him.” The third Bection of the statute enacts “ That all gifts, grants, conveyances, appointments, assurances, transfers, and settlements whatsoever, of any lands, tenements, or other hereditaments, or of any estate or interest therein, or of any charge or incumbrance affecting or to affect any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or of any stock, money, goods, chattels, or other personal estate, or securities for money to be laid out or disposed of in the purchase of any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or of any estate or interest therein, or of any charge or incumbrance affecting, or to affect, the same to, or in trust for, any charitable uses whatsoever, which shall at any time from and after the 24th June, 1736, be made in any other form than by this Act is directed and appointed, shall be a b s o l u t e l y , and to all intents and purposes, n u l l a n d v o i d .” Upon these enactments it may be observed :— 1st. That the Baptist Missionary Society is a Charitable Institution, within the meaning of this Act. 2ndly. Land, money arising out of land, or money secured on land wholly or partly, and whether freehold or leasehold, can be given to a charity only by deed in manner directed by the statute. 3rdly. Not only cannot a will pass to a charity any property of the above description, but no money- legacy given to a charity can be satisfied out of such property. If, therefore, a testator has only land, mortgages, rent-charges, debentures, or securities on land, the legacy will fail altogether ; if his estate be mixed it will foil to the extent of the proportion of this property to pure personalty. If A. having £1,500; namely. £500 at. his bankers, and ¿1,000 on mortgage, gives £100 to a charity, the bequest will only be worth £33 6*. 8d. Railway and canal shares are pure personalty, and may be used to satisfy a charitable lcgacy, but not railway debentures. By 1 Vic. cap. 26, sec. 9, it is further enacted. “ That no will shall be valid, unless it shall be in Writing, and executed in manner hereinafter mentioned (that is to say) : it shall be signed at the foot or end thereof by the Testator', or by some other person in his presence or by his direction : and

  • HELMDON VOICE Winter 2014
    HELMDON VOICE www.helmdon.com Winter 2014 New stone wall marks the Station Road entrance to Helmdon The end of January saw the unveiling of a stone wall at the top of Station Road. The structure consists of a pillar on one side of the road and a pillar and small wall on the other and was designed by Clare Nash, an architect who lives in the village, and who gave her time voluntarily. The majority of the stone used is Helmdon stone, kindly donated by Mike and Julia O’Brien. Patrick Gartside, a local builder with family connections in Helmdon, constructed the wall which commemorates the Queen’s Jubilee of 2012. Patrick Gartside and Clare Nash It was funded both from reserves held by Helmdon Parish Council and from a grant from South Northants Council under the New Homes Bonus Scheme. HYHO has also pledged £200. The aim of the project is to enhance the environment at the village entrance and hopefully to deter drivers from dropping litter. SNC consults on the Local Plan South Northamptonshire Council (SNC) has commenced the preparation of a Local Plan which will be the main land- use planning document for the district. It will guide the decision-making process for future planning applications across South Northamptonshire, including those in Helmdon. SNC consulted Helmdon Parish Council about the plan and the parish council responded using information and evidence gathered by the Helmdon Parish Plan Group (HPPG). The HPPG met twice before Christmas and once afterwards to review data gathered for the original Helmdon Parish Plan (2003/4) and for the Parish Plan Refresh (2011) as well as looking at feedback from residents submitted over Christmas (thanks to those people that responded!).

  • Wiltshire Housing Land Supply Statement 2018
    Housing Land Supply Statement Base date: April 2018 Published: August 2019 Housing Land Supply Statement Base Date: April 2018 Published: August 2019 2 1.0 Policy Context - why is a land supply assessment required? 1.1 This Housing Land Supply Statement has been prepared using a base date of April 2018 and covers each Housing Market Area (HMA) in Wiltshire, as set out in the Wiltshire Core Strategy (adopted January 2015). It represents a snapshot at the date of publication and is produced annually as required by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and accompanying Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). This statement accords to the requirements and definitions of the NPPF and PPG as summarised below. Figure 1: The HMAs in Wiltshire1 1 Any development immediately adjacent to the urban area of Swindon but within Wiltshire’s administrative boundaries is not considered to contribute to the housing requirements of the North and West HMA. See paragraph 4.34 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy for clarification. 3 1.2 Within the latest NPPF (published February 2019), the Government has reaffirmed its approach to the delivery of sustainable development. With regard to housing provision, paragraph 73 states that: “Strategic policies should include a trajectory illustrating the expected rate of housing delivery over the plan period, and all plans should consider whether it is appropriate to set out the anticipated rate of development for specific sites. Local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirement set out in adopted strategic policies36, or against their local housing need where the strategic policies are more than five years old37.

  • Dedicattons of Tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©Ometsetsftire. “L
    DeDicattons of tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©ometsetsftire. BY THE KEY. E. H. BATES, M.A HE late Mr. W illiam Long contributed to the seventeenth “L volume of the Proceedings in 1871 a classified list of the Church Dedications given by Ecton in his Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum, 1742. As Editor of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Kalendar my attention has been frequently drawn, from my own knowledge as well as by numerous correspon- dents, to the many errors and gaps in that list. It became plainly necessary to go behind the Thesaurus to the original sources of information. And here I may be allowed to repro- duce what I have already stated in the preface to the Kalendar for 1905. It should be clearly understood that there is no authoritative list in existence. Among the Public Becords are two works known as Pope Nicholas’ Taxatio of 1291, and the Valor Ec- clesiasticus of 27 Henry VIII (1536), containing the names of all parishes in England and Wales. These were primarily drawn up to ascertain the value of the benefices, and only in- cidentally, as in the case of towms with many churches, are the dedications added. The latter work, to which the title of V^ahr Ecclesiasticus or Liber Regis is generally given, was first printed in 1711 by J ohn Ecton. His preface contains a very interesting account of the early work of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Fund, of which he was Receiver, and of the serious state of affairs in the large towns which led to its foundation.

  • Spending All Our Days at Home – Other Than Exercise and Those Shopping Trips for Essentials (If You Are Not Self-Isolating
    Spending all our days at home – other than exercise and those shopping trips for essentials (if you are not self-isolating when you can’t even do that) – we have all had a lot of time to think. What have I thought about and what have I discovered during this time? I have discovered BBC Radio 3! I think my opinions of it were many years out of date – or possibly (and probably) my tastes have changed. Fabulous music, and you don’t have to put up with adverts. I’ve discovered pretty much every single footpath and lane that you can reach from Broadway in an hour’s walk or cycle ride – and we have all enjoyed gorgeous weather to appreciate it or our gardens even more. I’ve discovered once again the natural generosity and kindness of the vast majority of our villagers who are supporting the most vulnerable members of our communities. I’ve discovered the power of video conferencing on our computers which has enabled many of us to stay in touch with each other, and come together for prayer, worship, and mutual support. I’ve discovered how strange it is to be unable to plan …..anything: work, family, holidays; after a lifetime of planning. Very strange. John Lennon says life is what happens while you are making other plans. We have had to learn to live for the moment; and that does not come naturally or easily. But if we embrace it we may find it truly liberating. I’ve discovered again the wonderful sense of humour of the British people.
