Query

[edit]

Dumelow, please could you check William Walker, the son of Scottish Episcopal Church [?] and grandson of a tailor and burgess of Aberdeen, is there a missing word? TSventon (talk) 12:14, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for spotting that TSventon, it was "clergyman" - Dumelow (talk) 12:19, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What did it do?

[edit]

It could be of interest to go into a bit more detail about what happened to the (equivalent of) 178 million GBP (beyond the church at Coates and the cathedral). Enhancing999 (talk) 08:15, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Enhancing999, it is quite hard to find the detail. The church at Coates is the cathedral. The trust was also the main funder of Old St Paul's, Edinburgh, see its listing detail. TSventon (talk) 12:47, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
