MILTON BRYAN CHARITY
CLERK TO TRusfEES
R KNOX
The first grant of land to the Chaiity Estate In the Ancient Parish of Milton Bryan was in 1424 by
Mr Thomas Stanford of Westminster and a Mr and Mr8 William Lucy of Flytwick and comprised thelr
tenements, mead(Ms, woods, etc in the town and fields of Milton Bryan.
Subsequent grants were made by a variety of people which were consolidated and made
permanent by Henry Vlll in a Deed dated Juty 1533 to the use of the inhabitant8 of the towne of
Milton and their successor3 forever.
Some year5 later in 1556. more land was added and a new Deed executed which further clarified
the Objects of the Charity to the use of the inhabitants of the towne of Milton and their successors
forever, the proffts thereof from time to time arising to be converted to whatever use whatsoever at
the proper time shall be necessary for the inhabitants and their successors inhabitants of the town
aforesaid.
The objects of the Chaiity are the same today.
The Charity possesses a small farm and 10 cottages in the village - some of them have been
occupied by the same families for generations - for example the Creamer famity appear in the rent
ac(x)unts of 1800. and a Creamer is still INing in one of the houses.
The TrUSt￿S letting policy is that the properties are openly offered on the market with preference
given to people with village connections who meet certain affordability requirements. The properties
are to be let at best obtainable rent in accordance with The Charity Deed.
For the past 25 years the profrts, have been used to provide winter fvel grants to qualifying
pensioners in the village and modemising and maintaining the properties. During 2023 additional
significant grants were made to the Milton Bryan Parochial Church Council to support critical work to
secure the church building and to another local charity that runs the Flittabus communty bus
service. The Trustees foresee that significant expenditure will be required over the coming years to
upgrade unmodemised properties and to ensure that the properties comply fully with forthcoming
legislation, especialty related to the energy efficiency requirements. The Trustees have created a
reserve account for such use. If finances permit, we propose to continue to build such reserve at the
rate of £4.000 per month.
The Trustees conslder that the Charity can meet this need, and that It Is withln the Objects.
We have continued to folk>w the above policy during 2023 in accordance with our objective8.
