Titchfield Trust

In 1870 a settlement, in Port Antonio, was established for the general use of all the people in the area. By 1875 this 350 acres of land was being unlawfully used, and was in danger of being lost. It was then given over to some trustees later known as the "Titchfield Trust" to raise funds for erecting a free school to be maintained and endowed from the proceeds of the land.
