A Real Bleak House?

We met the Mayor of Broadstairs, Cllr Rusiecki, at Bleak House — where Charles Dickens wrote Bleak House, the novel about a will whose beneficiaries received nothing.

We discussed the 1642 Henry Robinson Trust.

Sometimes history doesn't stay in the past.

MISSED IT LIVE?

We joined Academy FM to discuss the Henry Robinson Trust, our Freedom of Information findings, and our ongoing High Court Judicial Review.

A hidden trust. A 400-year fog. We are seeking clarity.

Dickens used fog as a metaphor for confusion and delay. Questions about Henry Robinson's 1642 trust remain unresolved.

The College has disclosed no evidence that scholarships were ever awarded to intended beneficiaries, and no evidence of variation or termination of the trust, or a cy-près scheme.

Please sign the beneficiary register.

Honoured to have been elected Leader of the Conservative Group on Thanet District Council.

I’ll continue fighting for Thanet residents, backing local businesses, pushing for value for taxpayers, and holding the Labour administration to account.

Henry Robinson from Thanet, Kent left land in trust to fund scholarships - forever. What happened to his promise?
