Following Henry VIII's transition away from the Catholic church, the Pope's levy of the first-fruits and tenths become payable to the crown rather than the clergy. Upon the insistence of Bishop Burnet, Anne transferred this revenue back, establishing a fund for poorer members of the clergy which later became known as 'Queen Anne's Bounty.'
