October 1651, perpetuated the annual profits of two closes, in Barton,
called Lincroft and Bonthorne, and of two acres arable the one upon
Collier's Flat and the other upon Spellow, to the uses following that
is to say, 10s. thereof for a sermon, yearly, upon every Good Friday,
to be preached within the chapel of Barton, by an orthodox minister
lawfully qualified, and the residue of the whole profits to be divided
into five parts; whereof one part, yearly, to be disposed for the
necessary repairs of the chapel aforesaid; one other part to be
annually distributed to the poor of the village of Dunstall, after the
sermon ended; and the other three remaining parts likewise to the poor
within the chapelry of Barton aforesaid, after the ministerial
blessing pronounced upon the auditory."
