William Vavasour's gift, by will, dated 3rd September 1642. -Three-fourths of three acres of land, for the use of three of the poorest inhabitants, to depasture a cow each, for one year, paying each 10s.; and the whole 30s. to be given to the poor. The land is now under the management of the chapelwardens, and the directions in the will as to the letting the land to the poor are not followed, and appear difficult to obey. -Vide 15th Report, page 685.
