Note 184 — SCHOOL AND CLERKS
Reading edition
Rydal Hall MSS., Grasmere, was by no means behind the times in education. There was no parish school at Clayworth, Notts., in 1676, when an independent master was encouraged by permission to teach within the church; and an effort made to raise a school "stock" or endowment failed five years later. See Rectors' Book of Clayworth.
