Webbs Charity 1714.



At a Court holden 16th April 1714, for the Manor of Netherhall Wygorne, James Webb, and Bridget his wife, surrendered a house in Brook-street, in trust for the poor.
On 12th July 1792, James Merist, William Peachey, John Waddington, and Francis Bagge, all since deceased, were admitted tenants. A warrant of seizure has been since issued, but the property will be granted upon application. The house has long been down, and the site, consisting of only four perches of fair land, is let for 5s. per annum to the owner of an adjoining garden.
The rent has been paid to the poor by Bond's trustees, and applied with the rest of their funds.
