    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.
