| Cropton School Educational Trust |
The Cropton School Educational Trust dates back to the early 1700's when a local man left some land for the benefit of the education of the children of Cropton village. Rental from this land helped to finance a teacher for the children. The teacher lived in a house, close to the school. The village had a school until 1959 but financial reasons forced its closure.
The house and school became derelict so the trustees decided to sell the property and invest the proceeds towards the education of the children of the parish. It was renamed the Cropton School Educational Trust.
The aim of the Cropton School Educational Trust is to provide financial assistance for the education of young people, under 25 years of age, that reside in the parish of Cropton, North Yorkshire.
The trust meet during the year to discuss applications for funding.
