S13 Ep 1 - The Saint of Twyford? Edward Polehampton and the Polehampton Charity

The RG10 Podcast - featuring the people, places and events of interest across our area of the Thames Valley

In this episode of the RG10 Podcast, we explore the remarkable story of Edward Polehampton and the enduring legacy of his charity in Twyford. Born in 1666, an act of kindness towards the young boy evolved into a philanthropic trust benefiting the local community for centuries.
The podcast hears from James Fort, a local historian and trustee of the Polehampton Charity, to uncover its history, from its foundations to its continued support for education, housing, and those in need. Hear how the charity, now worth millions, provides essential grants for families struggling with rising living costs, and how it funds community initiatives like local schools, scouts, and sports clubs.
Learn about the spirit of generosity that still fuels the charity’s work today and how Twyford's residents can apply for assistance. Tune in for an insightful journey into the heart of a historic charity that continues to shape the lives of many in this seemingly affluent area.
