| We have resisted taking photographs of schools whenever there are children in the
playground, or at the school gates: so, there is a slight lack of pictures. We have
spotted old and new schools. Some of the old foundations are the core of present day
schools, usually primary schools; others have become dwellings or a village hall,
or have been abandonned. |

| Schools noticed on the OS County Series maps are sometimes labelled 'National School',
'British School':- |
||||
| British Schools -- the Royal Lancastrain Society was founded 1808 by nonconformists,
supporters of Jospeh Lancaster. It was changed to the British and Foreign Schools
Society in 1814. They created schools, and made a point of them being undemoninational,
though christian. |
||||
| National Schools -- The Church of England set up the National Society for Promoting
the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church, 1811; creating
schools which were pointedly denominational. They soon outnumbered the British Schools
17 to 1. |
||||
| Wesleyan methodists, Quakers, and Roman Catholics also established schools. |
