Endowment : a garden in Marygate, York, containing one acre and a half, and the sum of £100 at the time of the Report in the hands of Alderman Hearon of York, but who proposed to fund the same in the names of trustees, as soon as it could be done with advantage. £5 per annum is paid to the Vicar, who is to preach sermons on New-Year's day and Easter Sunday. £5 to a schoolmaster, to be chosen by the Vicar and the trustees, for teaching 10 poor children to read and write.
