1964 Letter re: School Charities
From Lacey Green History
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND SCIENCE (legal branch)
Curzon street
London W.1,
Dear Sirs 27th October 1964
With reference to your letter of 29th September 1964, and for the forms enclosed therewith. I am directed by the Secretary of State to explain that in connection with the application for an order appointing Trustees of the Teachers’ house at the Lacey Green Church of England School, a statement of willingness to serve, if appointed, signed by yourself and the churchwardens should be forwarded as stated in the penultimate paragraph of the official letter of 25th June 1964 to Mr.Adams.
With regard to the application submitted for an order vesting the legal estate in properties in the Official custodian for charities, I am to say that the Foundation known as the Endowment for Schools Erected by Emma Grace at Loosley Row and Speen now consists of a holding of £1,481.6.8 3 ½% War Stock, invested with the Official Custodian of Charities, being the proceeds of the sale of the farm at Hughenden, authorised by an Order of 19th April 1940, which comprised the original endowment. Thus there is no longer any real property to be vested in the Official Custodian.
The legal estate of the property of Lacey Green Church of England School is already held by the Vicar and Churchwardens and their successors as a corporate body under the Deeds of 3rd February 1875 and 15th March 1926, whereby the site was granted under Section 2 of the School Sites Act 1841. As these Trustees are for the purpose of the said Act a corporate body having perpetual succession, it is not necessary to vest the property in the Official Custodian.
The vesting applications should be completed and returned, with the original Deeds, or certified copies thereof, under which the properties are held, to this department, for transmission to the Charity Commissioners.
I am, Reverend Sir,
Your obedient servant.
(Mrs,) E.M.Sims
