William Rogers, by will, June 1806, gave to the minister and churchwardens of Nevern, Pembrokeshire, and their successors, 800l., Three per Cent. Consols, to be transferred by his executors within six months after his decease; and it was his will that the dividends should be laid out annually, one moiety thereof in good beef, the other moiety thereof in good barley, the same to be distributed on every St. Thomas’s Day in each year, by the minister and churchwardens, to and among the poor of the said parish of Nevern.—Edwards, Old English Customs and Charities, p. 24.
