Description

This is a report on the farms and buildings &tc belonging to the David Hughes Charity in the county of Anglesey in 1877. The report was compiled by John Roberts and was presented to J. Rice Roberts, receiver of the David Hughes Charity, on 12 June 1877. At that time, these farms and buildings were owned by the feoffees or trustees of the David Hughes Charity. The charity was set up by David Hughes, who founded the Free Grammar School at Beaumaris in 1603. Following the establishment of the school, David Hughes bought several farms in Anglesey and Caernarfonshire in order to provide a permanent endowment to his charity. Other lands were bought by the feoffees at a later date and many of these farms were still owned by the charity when the school was taken over by the county in 1895.
