Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
Hornsey Parochial Charities was established in 1890 by a Scheme uniting all the parish charities. Various charities were added later, including Churchfield, the Fuel fund, the Maria Tame charity and the bequest of Colonel John William Bird. Apprenticeship charities were managed separately by the same trustees. The income of the charity came from the leases of the parish cottages, and, after they were demolished, lease or sale of the land.
The charity provided pensions and gave grants to dispensaries, hospitals, nursing associations, convalescent homes, and provident clubs, and to individuals preparing for a trade or in temporary distress.
