3 FREEHOLD LAND & BUILDINGS
The land granted to the Township of Crosthwaite and Lyth under the Heversham Award dated 14th June 1815, together with the Township Cottage (and other property built since the Award) form the permanent endowment of the Charity and are included under endowment funds in the Balance Sheet. Title to these assets is held by the Official Custodian in trust for the Charity. These assets have never been valued and are shown in the Balance Sheet at nil value. The surplus arising from these properties is shown under the Endowment Fund in the Statement of Financial Affairs. This Surplus is available to the Trustees to spend as they see fit and, thus, is unrestricted. These surplus funds are, therefore, transferred from the Endowment Fund to the Unrestricted Fund, leaving the Endowment Fund with anil balance. The Charity owns the the freehold of the Crosthwaite Recreational Field . This is let on a 99 year peppercorn lease to the Recreational Field Trust and has been written down to nil.
