Charities. There is no table of benefactions in 

 the church, nor any sum of money left for distribu- 

 tion amongst the poor ; but there is a free school 

 for the instruction of the children of Sinnington, in 

 reading, writing, and accounts ; which is a branch 

 of the grammar-school at Thornton, and was erect- 

 ed on account of the too great distance of Sinnington 

 from that place. The present master, Thomas 

 Snovvdon, receives a salary of 20 per annum, has 

 the use of a good school-room, and is provided with 

 coals for the school, out of the charity of Lady 

 Lumley ; in addition to which he receives a further 

 sum of 1 out of a farm at Easingwold. The aver- 

 age number of free scholars attending the school is 35. 

 The parishioners of the township of Sinnington 

 are also entitled to 6 of the 12 hospitals erected at 

 Thornton, under Lady Lumley's charity ; and to 

 the apprentice-fee left by the same munificent donor.
