TitleARLIDGE'S CHARITY, KENILWORTH
Date1878-1883
DescriptionAbraham Arlidge (1669/70-?post 1729) established his charity in 1716 for the education of dissenters' children in Kenilworth. The charity's income was based on a farm in Thorpe in the Mire, Linconshire. The directories show a British school at Abbey Hill, Kenilworth, the site of the Congregational chapel. By 1868 it was known as Arlidge's School. For much of the nineteenth century the minister was also the master of the school. The school had disappeared from the directories by 1892, but the charity still (1990) continues.
