History of the Charities Poor Lands There is a parcel of land in Middle Rasen, called Strife Meadow, which was awarded by the Commissioners of the inclosure in the following words. " We do hereby allot and award unto Marmaduke Dixon, Thomas Brown, John Turner, & John Bennet, all that said piece or parcel of ground containing 18 acres 3 roods 16 poles state measure, to hold the same upon the best terms that can be had, and pay the yearly rents and profits therefrom arising to the overseers of the poor of Middle Rasen for the time being, to be by them applied in aid of the assessment for the relief of the poor of the said parish, and for no other purpose whatever." The land in lieu of which this allotment was awarded, was very probably derived from the bequest of Thomas Bromley and John Davenport, but no positive proof can be adduced. It is now let by the overseers, the heir of the survivor of the original trustees named in the award not in any way interfering, and is now held by Mr.William Rawson at the yearly rent of £18- 10s ( £18.50 ) which is carried to the overseers' general account."
Poor Meadows. " There are three acres of meadow in Lissingley Open Field, the cut of hay from which belongs to the poor of Middle Rasen, This right is let every year, and proced last year the sum of £1- 17s. ( £1. 85 ) which was given to the poor in money at Christmas"
Poor Lands and Poor Meadows The charity no.216242 was registered in 1963. In 1952 about an acre was sold to become the Dairy on Walesby Road. The money from this was invested in Consolidated Stocks. at 4%. still giving the charity a very small income. This was given to the senior citizens towards their Christmas party. Recently, the charity has been totally updated with the discovery that the land the Enviroment Agency wished to use for the Market Rasen flood alleviation scheme belonged to the charity. The money raised from this is invested & cannot be used but the interest on the money can be used to provide help for the needy in the parish & still the senior citizens Christmas party.
