Exchange of letters relating to the apportionment of costs associated with making up a road (Wymering Road).
St Leger Mason, Henry Patrick Rev (-1940)Copy of Mrs Gordon's wishes for the money left in her will to the Archbishop of Westminster:
£500 is to go to Southwold Mission for completion of the High Altar - masses for her husband and herself;
For the erection on altar & tabernacle at some poor mission - our souls to be remembered;
Remainder to be divided between:
Convent of Poor Clares, Manchester;
Fr G Lester's Fund for "Our Lady's Young Priests";
Fr Berry's Homes (The Liverpool Catholic Children's Protection Society).
Trusts that the Archbishop will carry out these wishes.
£1095 Great India Peninsular Railway stock - tax can be reclaimed. But this is one of several stocks held in the Trust Deed for the mission. Send accounts for last 6 years and claim will be made out.
Witham, Weld and CoFirm acted for the Diocese to divert a private footpath and agree with adjacent owner on terms to extend property. Both transactions now complete.
Witham, Weld and CoDeeds are silent on ownership of the wall - an inspection would be needed to help form a conclusion. If the Diocese has maintained the wall for a minimum of 12 years without objection, or seeking permission, then the ownership would be with the Diocese. If the doctors' proposal for the wall are unobjectionable then going to the expense of deciding ownership of boundaries is not justifiable.
Witham, Weld and CoMrs Gordon's will left the money to the Archbishop [Arthur Hinsley], hence Canon Mason should not hold the written wishes of the Testatrix, but the Archbishop should as there is no original document in Westminster. Only £500 is to go to Southwold.
Witham, Weld and CoNoted the proposed transaction. Mr Beavan has confirmed his intention and he has confirmed he will pay all costs.
Witham, Weld and CoNow heard from Mr Beavan and Fr Rudd that the sale may now proceed. Let Witham know the sale price and type of fencing required.
manuscript annotation: "with Witham yes; with Rudd. 23.11"
Not spoken about stone before. Normally not keen on using reconstituted stone for the Church. Their experience is that it weathers poorly. Rather avoid it.
