It is our desire that each particular bequest (Hill and Bell, Smith's, and Stratford
and Plaistow) and its distribution, should be kept distinct. It is obvious that under the
present arrangements this is impracticable. The Scheme we have the honour to submit
to you will deal with the Stratford and Plaistow Charities only, and will cover in its
working the increased yearly income, together with the moneys now on deposit. This
latter amount is made up as follows:—
£ s. d.
Deposit Note: November 9th, 1889 54 14 0
„ „ November 19th, 1889 13 9 7
,, ,, December 20th, 1889 32 3 9
„ ,, January 15th, 1890 40 0 0
„ „ February 14th, 1891 47 0 0
£187 7 4
As the unexpired term of the Lease of the Stratford Estate is 5 years, we propose to
divide this amount on deposit into 5 parts—one-fifth part (viz., £37 or thereabouts) to be
drawn each year and added to the annual income of £256 10s. received from Rents, thus
making a total of about £290—to be used for the purposes of the Charity in each year.
From 1859 until March, 1890, 108 sixpenny loaves per week were distributed to poor
persons of both sexes—85 at the Parish Church, and 23 at Holy Trinity Church.
In the year 1889 the income increased, and at a meeting of the Trustees, held in the
early part of 1890, it was resolved that the number of loaves be increased to 150,
and be distributed as follows, viz.:—
Loaves.
At the Parish Church 78
Holy Trinity 24
Christ Church 12
All Saints 12
