Churchlands Portchester
Charity No. 1181844
Annual Report for 2023
Church Lands Portchester was set up in the past (the earliest date found in the rather inadequate archive is 1809 when an enclosure award (PR VOL: 16 p.305) was recorded. The parcel of land was awarded to the Church Wardens and income from it would be paid to St. Mary’s Church, Portchester “in aid of the Church rates”. The asset became a parcel of land (approximately 2.4 acres), which was rendering no income at all for some years. In order to recWfy this situaWon and to generate funds to meet the trust objecWve, the land has been sold and the proceeds of this sale have been invested.
Expenditure remains £7.00 per calendar month, for the bank service charges.
The trustees have had review meeWngs with both Financial Advisors in order to monitor and discuss changes to the investment accounts.
Discussions have also taken place regarding the aims of the Trust. It was thought that the descripWon of “To support the Church and Parish of St. Mary’s, Portchester” was too broad. The decision was taken to alter the aim to be “For the Maintenance of St Marys Church Portchester.
