Ufford Charities

During the years 1638 to 1703 certain charities were founded for the benefit of the Parish of Ufford, Nr. Woodbridge, Suffolk. There were five in number:

  1. John Sayer
  2. Woods Hospital
  3. Thomas Mills
  4. Ballett (Ballett’s Gift)
  5. The Town Estate

In June 1900 the trustees for these five charities made application to the Board of Charity Commissioners for an established scheme for future regulation of the charities. The scheme was made and sealed on 26th April 1901 and a copy is available from the Clerk. The propose of this amendment was to amalgamate the five small charities in to three; a parent charity and two child charities.

The Ufford Charities are hence made up as follows:
