What the charity does

The Charity pays eleemosynary pensions to deserving elderly people in Stonham Aspal and divides the remaining income of the Charity equally between the Parish Church and other (civil) parish purposes. The income from a small endowment investment, The Rector's Land Fund, is made available to the incumbent of Stonham Aspal.
