    Names of the charities have been listed in the order they appear in the file with original order being maintained. Full names of individuals have also been added where found. Where multiple names are listed for a parish the names of the charities may have changed over time, but they have been listed individually where it is unclear. Where Charities have been listed as Charity, Foundation, Gift or Bequest the name used most in the records has been used. Names included in the lists may only be referred to in the document and not have extensive detail. Items include some, but not always all, of the following: letters; details of Scheme; history of Charity taken from Victoria County History; financial information; transcriptions and extracts of wills; appointment and removal of trustees; newspaper cuttings. Letters in the 1920s from the Director of Education to individual charities state that the Education Committee has decided to investigate the administration of Educational Endowments in the county.
