History
The Charity was established under an Award dated 12 September 1814 in pursuance of an Act of Parliament dated 1804 for enclosing lands in the Parish of Ruislip.
Sixty acres were allotted to the use of cottagers whose rents did not exceed £5.00 per year. Administration was carried out by a representative committee, later Trustees. In 1880, 95 cottagers were licensed to pasture cattle on this land.
