| Administrative History | The Charity Commissioners reported in 1832 that Thomas Ouffe in his will of 1629 left property in Kettleshulme (Cheshire), later identified as Clayton Fold Farm, to provide money for the poor in various Cheshire parishes and to pay for a schoolmaster at Shallcross in the parish of Fernilee. Thomas Hibbert in his will of 1676 left money to raise interest to be used to apprentice a poor child. In 1973 the charities were consolidated. |
| Custodial History | The records were deposited in 1973 by a trustee of the charities. |
