. The Victoria history of the county of Bedford. Natural history. FLITT HUNDRED BARTON For the Free School, founded by deed CHJRITIES 1807 by Edward Willes, augmented by will of Thomas Wilshere, proved 15 October, 1832 (;£300 consols with the official trustees), see article on ' Schools,' above. The ' Town Lands' consist of 8 a. i r. 36 p. awarded on the inclosure of the parish in 1809 in lieu of other lands held from time immemorial, the rents of which—as appears from entries in the old books of the parish commencing in 16 5 6—were applied in defraying the general and common expenses of the parish. By a scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 24 August, 1869, the trustees thereby appointed were authorized to apply four fifth parts of the net rents towards providing a competent schoolmistress. jf 10 5J. to the Sunday schools, and £S 2S. \od, to 37 scholars in various sums. The Poor's Estate formerly consisted of 3 J acres with cottage and buildings thereon, at Sharpenhoe, in the parish of Streatley, awarded on the inclosure of the parish in respect of lands in the Streatley Field, under- stood to have been given by one Bodenham Rouse for the poor, subject to the payment of I os. for the poor of Streatley, and 10;. for the poor of Hexton. In 1901 the land was sold for a perpetual rent-charge of £9, which—under the authority of an Order of the Charity Commissioners of 27 November, 1903— became charged upon 6 a. 3 r. 21 p., with buildings thereon, situate at Sharpenhoe, part of a farm known as the Chantry Farm, recently purchased by the. Barton-in-the-Clay Church and the residue of the income towards the general support of the day and Sunday schools in the parish. A sum of £6^1 16s. id. consols is held by the official trustees in trust for this charity, being the balance of j^973 lis. consols, arising from the invest- ment of moneys received in 1873 for digging copro- lites, after providing a sum of/300 for the erection of an infant school.
