## Activities

**Objects:** DISTRIBUTION OF BREAD TO THE POOR CHILDREN OF BURFORD.

**Activities:** Loaves of bread to the children at Burford Primary School once a year to keep the tradition of The Thomas Collier Charity alive. In 1665 Thomas Collier left a legacy to buy 12 one-penny loaves each week to be distributed to the poor children after Sunday church service. Records show this continued until the turn of the 20th century. Now it is an annual event as a reminder of poverty in the past.
