A fixed payment made from or charged to the revenues of a benefice; (in later use) (spec. in Anglican Church) a regular payment to a retired former incumbent (corresponding to sense 6). Now chiefly historical.Prior to the Incumbents Resignation Act of 1871, Anglican clergymen had no entitlement as of right to any kind of payment on their retirement, and the ‘pensions’ charged upon the revenues of benefices were more often paid to an ecclesiastical or feudal superior (e.g. an abbey or the Crown), than to an incumbent. During the 20th cent., pensions for retiring clergymen and their dependants were gradually introduced, and are now administered by the Church of England Pensions Board.

An annuity or other regular payment made to a retired employee, servant, citizen, etc., by right or in consideration of past services, the relinquishment of an emolument, etc.In the past, the state or crown paid pensions to retired civil servants, and to soldiers, sailors, etc., disabled in public service (or, if killed in action, to their widows). Pensions were sometimes also granted to notable public figures in recognition of eminent achievements. Similarly, certain private individuals, businesses, etc., granted pensions to former employees or servants.More recently, many states have adopted the practice of paying pensions to all those who have reached a specified retirement age (subject to various conditions of eligibility). Since the late 19th cent., various private pension schemes have also operated, whereby an individual makes regular payments into a trust fund or foundation over the course of his or her working life, and on retirement draws from the fund a pension determined by the amount contributed and (often) the period over which contributions have been made. Private pensions may complement or replace state pensions. Payment of both state and private pensions usually continues until the death of the beneficiary, and under some arrangements may then be transferred to a spouse or other dependant.
