Gilligate Church Estate Charity (Ref: D/GCEC)

Introduction

The origin of the G.C.E.C. is unknown, but it is clear some proportion did derive from the mediaeval foundation known as the hospital of St. Giles or Kepier with which the charity had close relations from an early date.

In 1852, the charity was appropriated when information was filed in the High Court of Chancery by the Attorney-General against Salkeld to secure the administration of the charity estate. There followed an inquiry into what the estate consisted of and in 1866 a scheme was adopted for the administration of the charity and it was ordered that the real estate belonging to the charity should vest in the official Trustee of Charity Lands and that the stock in court remaining to the credit of the charity should be transferred to the official Trustees of Charitable Funds.

The property of the Charity can be divided into two classes, the first being the ancient estate or premises in the street of Gilesgate and the second, certain allotments on Gilesgate Moor.

The Marquess of Londonderry as Lord of the Manor of Gilesgate, had the ancient estate as part of his manor and therefore had the right to coal and minerals under the moor. Portions of the charity were to go towards repairs of Belmont Church and to the building and repairing of the parish schools of St. Giles. The remaining moiety was to be for the district of Belmont.
