Many thanks to the Royal Borough of Chelsea and Kensington Libraries for allowing their copy to be used for this transcription "The Endowed Charities of Kensington: By Whom Bequeathed, and How Administered" by Edward Morton Daniel, Esq. is a historical account published in the late 19th century, specifically around 1891. This book examines various charitable bequests made to the parish of Kensington, England, detailing their origins, the people behind these donations, and the ways in which they are administered. The author provides insights into the importance of these charities and their impact on the local community, highlighting a collective social responsibility towards the needy. In this detailed exploration, Daniel reviews several notable charities, including the Campden Bequests, which have significantly grown in value over the years due to smart property investments initially made with humble sums. He recounts the evolution of these charities from their original intents in the 17th and 18th centuries to their contemporary functions, indicating how the income generated is now allocated for purposes ranging from pensions for the elderly to education for impoverished children. The narrative showcases the historical context of Kensington, the changes in its demographics, and how these charitable funds have adapted to serve the increasing population's needs effectively. Daniel's work emphasizes the lasting impact of well-managed endowments in fostering community welfare while encouraging present-day benefactors to contribute further to this legacy.
