Middlesex Charities
The Reports of the Commissioners – Charities in England and Wales relating to the county of Middlesex 1819-1837
John Anthony Dyckhoff’s Gift
John Anthony Dyckhoff, by his will, dated the 9th day of August 1746 gave £50 to the churchwardens of Isleworth, to be laid out by them in Government securities, and directed that the interest accruing thereon, after the death of his widow and daughter, should be received by the churchwardens, and be paid over to the overseers of the poor for the time being, to be by them applied for and towards the relief of the poor of the said parish of Isleworth for ever.
This legacy was invested in £50 South Sea annuities, in the names of Benjamin Angel and John Bell, who are both dead. John Farnell and James Norris have been appointed trustees in their stead.
The dividends used till within these few years to be carried to the overseers general account. It has lately occurred to the parish officers, that this money ought to be specifically applied; and it has for the last year or two been carried to the bread account, and will be so appropriated in future.
