Biographical history
Since the 17th century, the parish of Saint Giles in the Fields, together with the later parish of Saint George Bloomsbury, has benefitted from the endowment of a number of charitable bequests and donations. These have been regulated differently at various times, and have on occasion been brought together better to fund their charitable purposes. In 2005 a new Charity Commissioners scheme consolidated four of the major surviving parish charities, bringing together for the first time the operations of the almshouses, Bloomsbury Dispensary, Thomas Leverton's Charity, and the Dibdin Brand Charity (formed on the consolidation of two former charities William Shelton's Education Foundation and the Saint Giles and Bloomsbury Education Foundation).
