CHARITIES FOR THE POOR.
Sir Thomas Hesketh proposed to found a hospital at
Heslington and it was built in 1608 by his widow dame Julia beside the
York road, north of the hall. The hospital was endowed by
indenture of 1630 with £50 a year from Castle Mills, York. A master was
to receive £6 13s. 4d. a year and eight other inmates, one a woman,
were to get £5 each. A further endowment of £5 a year from land at
Hutton Rudby was probably given by another of the
Heskeths. The hospital was rebuilt on the Fulford road by Henry
Yarburgh in 1795. The twostoreyed brick building had a chapel in
the pedimented centre, with terraces of four two-roomed apartments on
either side for the men and a room behind for the woman. The hospital
was repaired and modernized by Richard, Lord Deramore, in 1968. In 1974 the endowment income was still £55, the former rent-charge
on Castle Mills being paid by York corporation, and contributions were
made by the inmates.
