Notes
An Act from the fourth session of the Parliament begun January 1727 and continued to January 1730. The New Churches in London and Westminster Act of 1710 had provided funds for the building of fifty new churches (known as the Queen Anne Churches) from a duty on coal arriving in London. When St George's Church, Gravesend burnt down in 1727, the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches partly funded the construction of a new church, completed in 1731. This Act provided a maximum sum of £5000 for the purpose.
