Reading edition

Under the same will the children of Langbourn Ward Schools who help in the choir, and the children of the Sunday School, receive each a bun, and various sums of new money, ranging from 1d. to 1s., besides the poor of the parish, on whom it bestowed 1s. each and a loaf. The money used to be given away over the tomb of the donor, until the railway in Liverpool Street effaced the spot.—City Press, April 12, 1873.
