Fockerby Free School. The schoolmaster is appointed by the master and fellows of Catherine Hall, Cambridge. Little seems to be known respecting the foundation. The Commissioners appear to consider the school to have been neglected. Persons educated therein are to have a preference to certain scholarships and fellowships at Catherine Hall. All the children of the township of Fockerby, and two from Adlingfleet, are entitled to free admission. Income-rent of about 27 acres of land and two pasture gates.

Mrs. Ramsden's gift. Interest of £60 to poor cottagers at Fockerby.

Ramsden's charity. Mrs. Mary Ramsden, by will, dated 3rd November 1743, gave £200 to be employed for the benefit of poor boys and girls in Fockerby, Norton, Linton, and Adlingfleet, in putting out the boys apprentices, and in teaching the girls to sew and read. In 1767, pursuant to an order in Chancery, the principal and accumulations were invested in the purchase of £471. 13s. 1d. three per cent. consols, in the name of three trustees, of whom the survivor was James Stovin, of Doncaster, gentleman, whose will was proved at York, 19th November 1789, and in Canterbury 23rd January 1794 ; and the stock was transferred into the names of his executors, the survivor of whom was Joseph Morris, of Bawtry Street House, in the county of Nottingham. There appears no evidence of the dividends having ever been applied to the charitable uses directed by Mrs. Ramsden's will ; and in 1801, the whole of the stock was sold out, and the produce divided amongst the seven younger children of Mrs. Stoven, who are all particularized in the Report of the Commissioners. The Commissioners express an opinion that if the funds are capable of being recovered, it can only be through the assistance of a Court of Equity. -Vide 18th Report, page 593.
