The best example of that I have come across was a bequest from a 
spinster of the parish.  She was devoted to the proper case of the 
sanctuary (used in the British sense of the area round the altar rather 
than all the worship space) imcluding cleaning the tiles with milk.  The 
bequest was for the upkeep of the sanctuary at a time when the church 
wanted a new heating system.  One of the radiators was placed just 
within the designated area to be able to draw on the bequest but also 
contribute to the heating of the rest of the church.
