Widford Relief in Need

A Historical Legacy

The Widford Relief in Need Charity is formally a combination of three separate charities which were set up by generous benefactors in the late Victorian period.

Little Land

One charity was connected with the gift of a small piece of land in Bell Lane.

The Poors Field

The final charity was linked to 14 acres of agricultural land, known as the Poors Land
