<blockquote><q>Herbert Dunhill left two wills dated 31 March 1948. One concerned only his property in Monte Carlo; the other intimately concerned the future of Alfred Dunhill Limited.

Ltd). They were charged with a long list of responsibilities; chief among these was the administration of one half of his estate (amounting to about £250,000, all in Dunhill shares), which was to become the Herbert E.

On the Dunhill Medical Trust page in "Our History", we have a small description of the creation and management of the fund. Again, we have a divergent story of the date and reason for Herbert's death. | |||
<center>[[File:Aspas-copy.png|40px]]'''Herbert E Dunhill died in November 1950 leaving £250,000 from his personal estate in Charitable Trust for medical research into tuberculosis, the cause of his death. His niece, Mary Dunhill Lane, was appointed one of the original Trustees and it was largely her vision that drove the Charity until her death in 1988. Her daughter, Kay Glendinning, continued her work and was Executive Director from 1988 until April 2005 when she joined the Board in a non executive capacity. In 2019, she stepped down as a Trustee and became the Trust’s first Patron.'''[[File:Aspas.png|40px]]</font> Our History - [https://dunhillmedical.org.uk/about/our-history/ The Dunhill Medical Trust]</center> | |||
