His plantations were reckoned in 1758 to be worth at least 10 000l...He proposed to vest his gardens in a body of trustees who were annually to dispose of the produce and devote the proceeds to the creation of a fund. When this fund should reach 1 500l. the interest was to be applied to the decoration of the church at Langton the providing an organ and the support of an organist and schoolmaster; when it should reach 4 000l. a village hospital was to be founded and advowsons were to be bought to enable the trustees to reward deserving clergymen by preferment.” Further plans included a library picture gallery hospital for women and finally a choral college at Oxford. “In 1777 the year before his death the annual income amounted to 190l. 17s. which was regularly invested till in 1863 it had risen to about 900l. The trustees then applied to the court of chancery.” DNB Despite not attaining the heights of Hanbury`s vision a charity in his name still exists today.
