The rent charges mentioned in the will to the parishes of Brandsburton and Hutton Cranswick were settled and secured by deed, dated 1st March 1719. The rent charge of £2. 10s. is distributed by the minister and churchwardens, at Old Michaelmas, amongst poor persons in small sums, selected by them, and at their discretion.

The School land.

Boswell's gift. This consists of a sum of £20, given by a person named as above. The money was applied, as stated under the school land charity, in defraying the expenses of the inclosure, and a minute is entered in the town's book.
