St Hilda's chapel, history board The text gives insights into the ecclesiastical politics and financial arrangements of the church in early Victorian times: 'The Chapel was erected at the expense of Charlotte Catherine Ann, Countess of Bridgewater AD 1844 and endowed with the sum of L1526 14s 4d in the 3 percent consolidated Bank Annuities. The service to be performed as set forth by the Church of ENGLAND and by her directions the Sittings are hereby declared free and unappropriated to the Inhabitants of the Township of Caldwell. Bernard Gilpin, Officiating Minister. Frank Dent, Churchwarden'. The 3 percent annuity would have generated an annual income of £42 16s, the equivalent of about £2500 in 2017 (from the National Archives inflation converter).
