Grant From The Sabina Sutherland Trust - May 2018
The Sabina Sutherland Trust donated £5000
Sabina Sutherland spent most of the latter part of her life in Berkshire, where she was senior archivist in the Berkshire Record Office. She was an acknowledged expert on the church in Berkshire in the 19th century, and used this knowledge in her highly praised edition of the church inspection notebook of Archdeacon James Randall, 1855 - 1873. Following her premature death in 2014, her executors decided to use the residue of her estate to create a charity to support the causes that she had supported during her lifetime. Among these was the care and conservation of historic churches. She had a particular affection for Christ Church, Reading, where she worshipped, and All Saints, Binfield, where Randall had been rector before he became archdeacon. She also had a soft spot for other churches connected with the Randall family, among which was St Michael and All Angels, Sandhurst, where the archdeacon’s second son, James Leslie (later Bishop of Reading), was Rector from 1878 to 1880.
