Queen Anne's Bounty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Queen Anne's Bounty was a fund established in 1704 for the augmentation of the incomes of the poorer clergy. In 1890, the total amount distributed was £176,896. The bounty was the revenue from a tax (annates) on the Church prior to the Reformation, and from the Crown itself after the Reformation (hence its name). Queen Anne's Bounty was merged with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners on April 2, 1947 by the Church Commissioners Measure 1947[1] to form the Church Commissioners.
