Charity:
George Acklam's charity, dated 16th May 1630, as appears by a memorandum inserted in an old parish register of Nunkeeling, in the possession of the Rev. James Wilson, Vicar, under that date. rent charge of 5s. per annum, formerly said to be 6s. 8d. per annum, being the interest of £5 paid by Mr. George Acklam to the then churchwardens, agreeably to the wish of his father, George Acklam, to poor people, upon the forenoon of Thursday next before Easter, yearly, by the churchwardens for the time being, with the consent of one of the Acklams. The Commissioners reported that they had found no traces of the payment of 6s. 8d. per annum, but the book referred to contained a copy in part of a deed (the date whereof was not given in consequence of the leaves containing it and the inceptive part of the said copy being torn out), whereby one George Acklam covenanted and granted to and with Robert Richardson and others to pay the sum of 5s. as aforesaid, chargeable upon his property ; that there was no doubt but both the documents related to the same charity; that the money was regularly paid till within about twelve or fourteen years (preceding their Report), when Sir William Pennyman, Bart., to whom the estate chargeable therewith belonged to, sold it to a Mr. Joseph Shepherd, who refused to continue the payment, and it had not then been since received ; that the estate was then the property of Thomas Ward, Esq. of Bridlington, who had since purchased it, and who in answer to an application made to him upon the subject, had expressed his readiness to resume the payment if the property was liable to it ; and that it appeared to them that the document above referred to, coupled with the long course of payments by former owners of the estate, were strong evidences to fix the rent charge of 5s. per annum, and they hoped, therefore, that the payment would no longer be refused. -Vide 9th Report, page 768.

Post town: Hornsea.
