UNITED CHARITIES

 

 

 

     Under a Scheme of 6 Jul. 1906 (H21/1) the charities of William Gough, Winfred Matthews, Owen Morgan, Richard Muckleston, an unknown donor, Sir William Williams, and James Phillips were brought together as the United Charities.  They were known also as the Joint Charities.  Under a Scheme of 5 Oct. 1978 (H1/9) the United Charities became part of the reorganised Oswestry Town and Rural Parish Charity.  Records after that date, except the items listed below, are maintained with those of the Town Council.
