The principal charity is the income of certain landed property left by William Barrow in 1707 to “the widows and poor men of Borden.” At the time, this amounted to about £450 per annum, which was to be divided annually amongst thirty or forty of the poor inhabitants. He also left other landed property for the same purpose, which came to the charity by reversion. The Court of Chancery in 1863 reduced the number of alms-persons to thirty, each of whom was to receive £16 yearly. Subsequently the Charity Commissioners established out of the funds, which had ac¬cumulated to the amount of £12,000, the Borden Grammar School.
