CHARITY FOR THE POOR.

John Butler left a house and buildings which were settled in trust for the parishioners in 1770. (fn. 1) They were presumably the cottages appropriated to, and occupied by, poor of Sullington parish, the trustees of which were allotted ½ a. on Heath common at the inclosure of Thakeham manor in 1812. (fn. 2) No more is known of the charity.
