The original charity
George Wyldes [1846-1931] was a farmer & wheelwright in Chelveston, recorded at Top Farm from 1890-1914. Prior to this he had been a farmer in Newton Bromswold in 1881. In 1890 he was also recorded as the Assessor of Taxes for this parish.
His will (dated 8th November 1929 and proved 26th March 1931) provided £75 to be invested and required that 2/3 of the income derived went toward the maintenance of the church, whilst the remaining 1/3 be spent on providing coals for the poor widows of the parish.
The charity was wound up under s75 Charities Act 1993 in 2003 and has been removed from the register of charities.
