Lord Crewe's Charity Today

Today, Lord Crewe's Charity exists principally to assist clergy in the Dioceses of Durham and Newcastle, to provide bursaries at Lincoln College, Oxford University, where Lord Crewe was Rector, and occasionally to support charitable causes in parishes where the Charity owns land.

The Lord Crewe's Charity collection is held by Northumberland Archives at Woodhorn. Although the documents have been with the Archives for some years, money donated by the Charity - along with funding awarded by the Heritage Lottery Fund - has enabled the Working Lives project to list the collection in detail. The collection, which will be searchable online by June 2011, includes account books, petitions, correspondence, vouchers, deeds and leases, maps and plans, and eighteenth century newspapers.
