Leeson's Charity
Bills for Work Done NRO In the course of time following the creation of the Charity, Jane Leeson's trustees had to administer the Trust and deal with the work done by local craftsmen in repairing and maintaining the fabric and contents of the school. A remarkable series of bills dated between 1670 and 1850 has survived, and the collection presents a fascinating picture detailing the year-to-year minutiae of the school in Abthorpe. Thus the bills detail charges for glass, painting, repairing the table, door or desk, etc. Click on the relevant image to see a full-size image of a particular bill.
