Charities for the poor

Ellis Ashton, by will dated 1863, (fn. 42) left £145 to establish an apprenticeship fund to be administered by the churchwardens and overseers. The fund's initial income of £5 16s. rose, largely through lack of demand, to £8 by 1887, when the Charity Commission applied a Declaration of Trust. (fn. 43) Applicants remained few and the fund was used occasionally for educational purposes; (fn. 44) in 1971 the Department of Education ruled that the fund, then comprising £138, could properly be used for the benefit of Begbroke school children. (fn. 45)
