Biography

JOLLY'S CHARITY.

Edward Jolly of Mythop in Weeton-with-Preese in the parish of Kirkham, for some time before 13 February, 1784, had " given to the minister of Marton chapel or the clerk thereof 6d. weekly to be laid out in bread to be distributed after divine service amongst the poor inhabitants of Great and Little Marton as attended there." By indenture bearing the above date Edward Jolly gave to certain trustees 60 to be invested at interest in order that in future is. per week might be expended in bread to be distributed as heretofore, the surplus, if any, to be given to the clerk of the chapel, and it was provided that if ever afterwards the chapel (which was not then consecrated or endowed but supported by voluntary contributions), should be used for a dissenting meet- ing house, or if divine service should not be performed for four successive Sundays according to the Church of England, then the weekly dole should be distributed amongst the poor of Great and Little Singleton and Weeton-with-Preese who should attend service in the chapel of Great and Little Singleton. A new trust deed was executed 8 July, 1863, the original sum of 60 having been invested in Consols. Bread is distributed every Sunday afternoon.
