## The Hospital of Thomas Truesdale ## **(Charity No. 220344)** ## **Annual Report 2021** ## **Introduction:** This report describes the activities of the Trustees of the charity established by the will of Thomas Truesdale in the year 1700 – charity number 220344 – for the year ending 31[st] December 2021 ## **Trustees:** This year very sadly Mr Andrew Moore became ill and was not able to continue in his role as a Trustee and later in the year the Chair Col John Harvey moved away from the area. This left the charity without a Chair so the Vice Chair Mrs Viv Mitchell stepped into the role and after some thought decided to continue into 2022. ## **Residents:** This year there has been no change to the resident population. Improvements to apartments have meant that we are one short of the full complement. ## **Activities:** The Trustees met 4 times in 2021. In the early part of the year the meetings were held via zoom because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and then later 2 meetings were held face to face. The visit to the property and land owned by the charity at Morton was once again cancelled. The Clerk and Chair continued to meet on a regular basis to conduct the essential business of running the Charity. The Charity has continued to use Mr Peter Slinger to advise the Trustees about architectural matters. In May 2021 structural engineer Mr John Ellington completed his report on the reconstruction of the collapsed boundary wall. The report concluded that to the best of his knowledge the wall has been rebuilt in accordance with the proposed structural scheme designed and detailed by Stanza Ltd. Flat 6 has been undergoing renovation during 2021 and is nearing completion. ## **Assets:** 1. A grade 2 listed almshouse building divided into 8 flats—insurance value £2,395,326 2. Detached 2 bedroom property 1 West Street – insurance value £302,285 let at £5659pa 3. Manor Farm House, High St, Morton a detached house with garage, large garden and crew yard. The rent for the farmhouse is £1,200 per month and the insurance value is £762,262. The insurance value for the outbuildings is £610,058 giving a total value of £1,372,320. 4. There are several plots of arable land bringing in rentals as follows: a. 45.36 acres of arable land off the A15 which is let at £6420pa. b. 34.552 acres of arable land in Morton Fen let at £2750pa - c. 4.24 acres of grazing land let to a horse owner at £500pa - d. 4.76 acres of arable land off East Lane Morton let at £350pa ## **Investments and Accounts:** At December 31[st] 2021 the total value of investments amounted to £463,416. A summary of the charity’s accounts has been prepared by the clerk assisted by Mrs Gillian Matthew, an accountant who has recently retired from managing the accounts at a much larger almshouse complex. The accounts are in a separate annex to this report.
