This series contains confidential reports prepared for the Board between 1880 and 1892, 1896 & 1907 on endowed schools in the London area, charities administered by the Corporation of Trinity House and charities of the City and County of the City of Norwich. The reports add to information in the original reports of the Commissioners for Inquiring Concerning Charities which were published 1817-1843 and differ from the published Assistant Commissioner reports (1893-1914) in the contentious nature of their subject matter. CHAR 15/1 is indexed at the front in manuscript and its cover is erroneously titled Charity Commission Annual Reports, 1886 - 1892 |
