This plan, of Chatton Vicarage, was drawn by John Dobson of Newcastle. The plan was submitted to the Queen Anne's Bounty for financial assistance to undertake the alterations
Queen Anne's Bounty was instituted in 1704 to supplement the incomes of poor clergy by the investment of Crown revenue, raised since the Reformation in Great Britain, in a perpetual fund. The Governors of the Queen Anne's Bounty, in 1777, provided for the loan of money by mortgage, to clergy for the improvement of their dwellings.
The item has been extracted from the collection of Queen Anne's Bounty Mortgage's contained within the collection of the Diocese of Newcastle upon Tyne.
