The Fitzwilliam Trust

This is a new name in the Parish, so we must explain ourselves. There has for many years been a doubt as to the ownership of the building now occupied by the Reading Room and by Mr Tyne. It has been supposed to belong to the Rector, but on research being made it has been discovered that is belonged to Earl Fitzwilliam, whose ancestor owned, in former times, the Badsworth Estate. Lord Fitzwilliam has kindly made over this property, for the good of the parish, to Trustees, the present Trustees being *Mrs Heywood-Jones, the Rev. H. Bright, Lieut.-Colonel Johnston and Lieut.-Colonel Ramsden. The property is to be managed by a Committee consisting of the present Trustees, and by the persons who for the time being hold the offices of Rector of Badsworth and Rector's Churchwarden, and *the owners for the time being of Badsworth Hall and Rogerthorpe Manor. The building now used as a Reading Room may be used by the Trustees as Reading Room, Parish Hall, or for certain other parochial purposes. The dwelling house adjoining the Reading Room is to form an endowment, which after paying for repairs, etc, is to provide books for deserving scholars of the parish, or for pupil teachers attending either a Secondary School, Pupil Teachers' Centre or University.

We hope that this new Trust will in the first place secure our present Reading Room for its present excellent purposes for many years to come, and also will be of the greatest possible benefit in enabling boys and girls of the parish to continue their education with lessened expense to their parents.

The very considerable legal expenses in securing this property to the parish have been entirely borne by *Mr Bright, to whom the parish owes once more a great debt of gratitude for this, as also for the long and careful research which brought to light the ownership of the property. The cottage occupied by the Rectory gardener has been made over by Earl Fitzwilliam to the Rector of the parish.
