Welsh Church Act Funds

The Welsh Church Act 1914 secured the disestablishment of the Anglican Church in Wales and made provision for the division of the Church's assets in Wales by the Welsh Church Commissioners.

The Welsh Church Act Funds were established from the proceeds and assets of the disestablishment of the Church in Wales. These assets were distributed evenly among the former county councils in Wales, and then divided between the Welsh Unitary Authorities when they were formed in 1996. [ANGLESEY FUNDS HAVE DISAPPEARED]

The Act also allocated endowment funds to the University of Wales. Since the disestablishment of the University of Wales the funds have been held in trust as the Y Werin Cronfa Dreftadaeth Legacy Fund.
