The Wilkes Charity was established in 1630 by Edward Wilkes, who gave ten almshouses for the occupation of ten poor widows. Later family members increased the endowment.
A peculiar custom relating to the almshouses was that on Rogation Monday, the charity trustees, accompanied by the town crier and ten boys from each church choir in the parish (which included Stanbridge, Heath and Reach, Billington and Eggington) visited each major property of the charity. At the boundary of each property one of the boys stood on his head whilst the clerk to the trustees read the extract relating to that particular request.
