CHIPPING BARNET.- Order made at Watford, October 6th, 1653. From this order it appears that Valentine Poole, of Stepney, co. Middlesex, decreased, by his will bequeathed to the churchwardens and parishioners of Chipping Barnet, for the use of the poor of the said parish for ever, certain freehold land in Edmonton, co. Middlesex, in the tenure of John Cleanely. And because there is no sufficient provision made for the receiving and disposing of the rents and profits of the said lands, it is now ordered that feoffees shall be appointed in this said business, who, with the assistance of the churchwardens and overseers of the said parish, shall distribute the profits yearly amongst the poor of Chipping Barnet. It is also ordered that John Cleanely, on the expiration of his lease of the premises, shall take a new lease of the feoffees for eight years, at the end of which eight years the lands shall come into the hands of the feoffees, according to the donor's intention.
