(fn. 2) James Robinson, by indenture of 1832, required his executors to buy stock yielding £35 a year of which £10 was to provide the poor with coal at a reduced price, and £15 to buy blankets and winter clothing for the most needy. By will proved 1835 he left the yearly interest on £500 to the poor. (fn. 3) A Scheme of 1975 combined the two charities as the Love and Robinson Trust. The income in 1994 was £287. (fn. 4)
