Samuel Atkinson, by his will of 28 December 1679, left £600 for the purchase of land and the building thereon of an almshouse in Edgware for 4 poor parishioners, to be administered by trustees. An information for the settlement of the charity was filed in Chancery, 1682, and ordered the remainder of the £600 to be used to purchase lands for the use of the almshouse, namely Middlehurst Close and Redweele Close in Oakley, Bucks. A further endowment by the will of Thomas Napier, one of the trustees, of 1707 was used to purchase a close in Kenton, Harrow on the Hill. The almshouses were copyhold, held from All Souls College, Oxford, the lords of the manor of Edgware and Kingsbury.
