The Sarah Rolle Trust was established by Sarah Rolle 1731 to further the education of children of East Tytherley and Lockerley with East Dean parishes. The Trust can make grants to assist the educational needs of those living within the parishes or whose parents still reside within. Grants are made by the Trustees who meet twice a year in March and October. The dates are published in the newsletter of the United Benefice of Lockerley, East Dean, West Tytherley and East Tytherley.
