Progress so far: value of estate established at £330,000. Survey of area identified 158 Catholics - possibly 200 in total. Plan to refurbish the house - sufficient for an Oratory/Chapel in one large ground floor room. The can seek a priest to reside temporarily; he could say mass in a local hall. Hope then to be able to persuade the Bishop to build a church in the village. Fr Nesden is kept informed.

Miss E Wilkin has died at 81. Understand that she has left a third of her estate to the Diocese - may be a few hundred pounds - do not really know until the Will is read. Do not see any trouble from the non-catholic family.
Mr Hastings has written to you about the extension estimates and his proposals to reduce costs by taking out certain items (which can be added back in later) from the tender. Fishers is a good firm and the only one that called to discuss the tender.

Miss Edith Wilkin will stated "I give to the Northampton Diocese Mission Fund for the sole purpose of the foundation and maintenance of mission £200 3% Defence Bonds and £1,000 3.5% War Stocks." She was quite close about her affairs so the bequest is a great surprise. She was a very good member of the congregation and an opponent of the extensions plans.

Requests reallocation of £5,000 from Miss Insley's estate for general use in Hunstanton Parish. Money urgently needed for work from the Quinquennial Survey - money already spent by Fr Nesden results in him only having £50 in the bank. Trustees have no objection - hopes the Finance Board will agree.

Will of Miss Insley :

  1. Cash received is part of the estate and can be used for house maintenance
  2. Until the church is built no money for Diocese - hence executors are responsible for house maintenance
  3. House can be used by a priest and money set aside for his maintenance; if not, then any rental income goes to the estate
  4. After 10 years, earlier if a Church is built, the house comes to the Diocese - no strings
  5. After 10 years, if no Church built, money goes to 23 charities
  6. House too small to be used for construction of a church.
  7. Maintain distance - nothing lost if take 10 years to make mind up.

Confirm that arrangements are made for 4 masses to be said each year for Miss Insley and Mr Hickman at Hunstanton, there being no church as Dersingham (!).
Bishop is concerned that as there is currently no plan to build a church at Dersingham, the charities which could benefit form the Will will have to wait for 10 years before getting the money - can this requirement be dropped so they get it earlier?

Asking for proof that a Fr Flynn exists in Hunstanton so that a friend's family member's will executors can send some money for Masses. Executors want proof as this approach has been fraudulently used by those posing as Priests to get help from Ireland. Her daughter was baptised at 24 hours old in Beccles by Fr Peter [?] just before he left.
Manuscript annotation: "Answered, Congrats on "Margaret Mary"! Suggested that executors in Ireland cld send money for Masses to me, I wld sent it on to Fr Flynn at Hunstanton"
