In the beginning
The Ealing and Brentford Consolidated
Charity is the amalgamation of a number of smaller charities
dating back to the sixteenth century with the areas of benefit
incorporating the London Borough of Ealing and the old town
of Brentford.
A Scheme of 1904 created Ealing Charities
for the Poor which consolidated a number of small charities
bringing together almshouse and distributive charities with
Ealing Dean Common Allotment land.
The *distributive charities
were as follows:-
Edward
Vaughan
By will dated
1612 left rent for meat, coal and bread at Christmas time.
|
William
Adair
By will proved
1783 left £100 for poor widows to be distributed
at Christmas |
Elizabeth
Barnes
By will proved
1758 left £400 for four widows. |
John
Bowman of Ealing
Canon
of St. Paul’s by deed of 1630 endowed money for
a lectureship and for distribution to the poor at Christmas.
A Scheme of 1869 allocated 4/7 of the total income for
church purposes with the remainder to be used for general
charitable purposes. |
Johnathan
Gurnell
By will proved
1753 left stock to provide coal |
Hannah
Harman
By will proved

Thomas
Denison Lewis
By deed
of 1850 left £1,428.11s stock in reversion which
sadly yielded no income. |
Edward

was left by Sir Charles Morgan raising the total pot to
£9 6s.8d by 1822 and £12 8s.10d in 1867. |
Richard
Taylor
By will dated 1715 left the rent
from the later Lion Brew House towards coal for 8 poor
of Ealing and Brentford. The rent of £36 was divided
equally between the Upper (Ealing) and Lower (Brentford)
sides in 1822. Richard
Taylor’s legacy includes the site now comprising
19- 26 The Green which is why all proceeds from this
property portfolio are distributed on a 50: 50 basis
between Ealing and Brentford. For more information click
