In 1874 on the June 23rd, a scheme agreed by the charity commission, proposed uniting four Mountsorrel charities. These were Richard Nidd’s Charity, the Consolidated Charities, Thomas Statham’s Charity and Joseph Danvers’ Charity. They were all to be administered by a single body of trustees; The new charity was called the Mountsorrel United Charity. The trustees were the vicars of the two churches and 10 others resident in Mountsorrel or living within 3 miles of one of the churches or with a business in the village.
The income from the Mountsorrel United Charity was to be distributed as follows:
- One third of the income from the Consolidated charity and Thomas Statham’s charity to be paid to the vicar of the North End
- One third of the income from the Consolidated charity and Thomas Statham’s charity together with one half of the income from the Richard Nidd and Danvers’ Charities (to be called the Educational Fund) to be used for educational purposes
- One third of the income from the Consolidated charity and Thomas Statham’s charity together with one half of the income from the Richard Nidd and Danvers’ Charities (to be called the Eleemosynary fund) to be used for the direct benefit of the deserving poor of both ends of Mountsorrel
