LE QUAINTER'S CHARITY.
The only Charity which is administered by the Vestry
is that known as Le Quainter's, which arose from a bequest
in 1782 by Mr. Peter Le Quainter, formerly a resident in
Piccadilly. He directed that the income should be "equally
distributed at Christmas amongst twenty poor persons who
are or have been Housekeepers in the Parish, and such as
the Rector and Churchwardens and the other gentlemen
for the time being who shall compose the Vestry of the
said Parish of St. James, shall deem to be proper objects,
and the most deserving to partake of the same."
