CHAPTER VII. 



CiviL History. — Means of Education. 



In 1829 Bishop Burgess built the room attached to the Church 

 "for the use of the Suuday School of this Parish." This is still 

 used to some extent for this purpose, but practically it has become 

 the vestry. In Rector Brown's time a night school was, during the 

 four winter months, held in this room, the average attendance being 

 from fifteen to twenty. The age of the scholars was from fourteen 

 to twenty-four, and each paid 2s. 6d. in advance for stationery, 

 firing, &c. The teachers were the curate and his wife and John 

 Bishop, the schoolmaster. There is, for the time, no longer any 

 night school in the parish. Up to the year 1835 the room was used 

 as a boy's day school, a dame's school being at the same time kept 

 by one Birt in the cottage opposite the Church gate. The Sunday 

 school hours were one hour before the morning and one before the 

 afternoon service, and the average attendance — 1853 to 1863 — was 

 fifty. 



The teachers were the rector's wife, the curate and his wife, and 

 the schoolmaster and mistress. The Sunday school is now held in 

 the National school-house, and in the vestry. The hours are from 

 10 to a quarter to 11 in the morning, and the average attendance 

 is thirty. 



In 1845-6 Mr. Wade Browne established a boys' and girls' school 

 with a master and mistress, but the master died and Rector Brown
