c. 38) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (the long title of which is An Act to afford further Facilities for the Conveyance and Endowment of Sites for Schools)[2] which allowed land-owners to sell or donate a maximum of one acre of land to charities for the provision of schooling 'poor persons'.

The Schools Sites Act 1841 was invoked 164 years later, on 27 October 2005, in the case of Fraser & Another v. Canterbury Diocesan Board of Finance.

The case went all the way to the House of Lords, which ordered the proceeds of the sale to be paid to the descendants of the original donor of the land, as the act had required.

[3] The case of Fraser & Another appeared on the BBC One TV programme Heir Hunters.
