Thomas Dickanson founded the charity in his will dated 10 Dec 1697, by which he bequeathed property to the poor of Salford, the rent from which was to be used "to lay out in cloth for the making and finishing of eight coats for eighteen poor old men of the town of Salford". A copy of Dickanson's will does not exist in the archive.
