Bancroft's beautiful Almshouse, School
and Chapel at Mile-end, were erected by
the Drapers company in the year 1735,
pursuant to the will of Mr. Francis Ban-
croft, who bequeathed to that company
the sum of 28,000l. and upwards, in
real and personal estates, for purchasing a
site, and building upon it an almshouse,
with convenient apartments for twenty
four almsmen, a chapel, and school room
for 100 poor boys, and two dwelling-
houses for the schoolmasters, and en-
dowing the same.  He also ordered that
each of the almsmen should have 8l. and
half a chaldron of coals yearly, and a
gown of baize every third year; that the
school boys should be cloathed and
taught reading, writing and arithmetic;
that each of the masters, besides their
houses, should have a salary of 30l. per
annum
, and the yearly sum of 20l. for
coals and candles, for their use, and that
of the school; with a sufficient allow-
ance for books, paper, pens and ink;
that the committee of the court of as-
sistants should have 5l. for a dinner, at
their annual visitation of the almshouse
and school; and that 3l. 10s. should be
