Place & story
Two annual bequests
Samuel Lewis recorded that Brockhill Newburgh had made two annual bequests in 1777 for Castleterra parish. A £10 charge on his Ballyhaise estate was intended for repairs to the church. Another £10 a year, charged on the Redhills estate, was for bread to be distributed weekly among the parish poor. The amounts describe annual provisions for separate purposes; the weekly distribution concerned the bread, rather than a weekly payment of £10. [2]
