The annual produce was in 1786 stated to be £2 8s., arising from land vested in Thomas Newton. Thomas Howitt, in 1793, purchased the premises, subject to the above payment; 16s. thereof he distributed to poor persons in Heanor, and 32s. to the poor of Codnor and Loscoe. Christopher Colclough, in 1754, gave to the poor of Heanor, Langley, Mill Hay, Codnor, Loscoe, and Codnor Park, 20s. yearly, to be distributed to the most needful persons of those places in threepenny loaves, in Heanor church porch, 10s. on every Whitsunday, and 10s, on every Sunday before Christmas-day. Samuel Colclough, in 1813, devised a messuage and the closes called Godkin House Farm, l9½ acres, to his grand grandfather, William Brough, and his heirs, subject to the annual payment of £2. This sum is laid out in bread, and distributed at the vestry-room on the 5th of June, the anniversary of the donor’s death. Rev. Francis Gisbourne’s charity.—(See Bradley.) The yearly sum of £7 10s. is received on account of this charity, and distributed to the poor, in cloth and flannel as under: viz., £2 to the inhabitants of the township of Codnor and Loscoe; £1 to the inhabitants of the township of Shipley; and the remainder to those of the township of Heanor. Smalley School, founded by John and Samuel Richardson, (see Smalley Morley parish,) 8 boys of Heanor township are appointed to this school. Samuel Richardson’s charity for poor colliers, (see Smalley.) In case there are not 10 poor colliers in Smalley, this township is entitled to partake of the charity." |

Ancient Charities
replied on: 9/17/2005 4:17:20 PM From the Society's Newsletter, number 03, May, 1970. Contributor unknown. Looking through an old book that was kept as a record book of local and National events, there is mention of 'Hooley's Charity' and it is recorded that on January 22nd. 1898, 400 children between the ages of 3 and 14 years sat down to a tea in Heanor and that afterwards, each was presented with sixpence. At the time, the Society knew nothing more concerning the above Charity. Has any further information concerning it come to light since 1970? Azzabuv. |
