now belonging to the Worsley family, Sir Richard 

 Vaughan left I. on lands at Ampleforth, to be 

 equally divided between Oswaldkirk, and Oswald-

 Hassel left 12. 10s. to the poor of Oswaldkirk in 

 Ampleforth quarter. Mrs. Dorothy Comber, of 

 Kirkby-Moorside, left in 1820, the interest of 100. 

 to be appropriated to the poor of Oswaldkirk, and 

 Oswaldkirk in Ampleforth quarter. The Rev. J. 

 Pigott, late Rector of Oswaldkirk, left 100. the 

 interest of which was to be paid to the parish clerk ; 

 and Mr. Thomas Carter, late of Oswaldkirk, 

 left 50. to a schoolmaster, for teaching poor 

 children. In addition to which fixed and per- 

 manent charities, the schoolmaster receives 8. 

 as a voluntary annual donation from Thomas Porter 

 Banner, Esq., for the education of poor children ; 

 and the executors of Mrs. Mary Thompson, 

 continue to allow 1. to the schoolmaster, and 4, 

 to the poor of Oswaldkirk, and Oswaldkirk in Am- 

 pleforth quarter, as a voluntary annual donation.

 eutirely left to eral tradition or loose detached scraps
