Schools in Sedburgh 1851ish
« on: Tuesday 27 May 08 21:03 BST (UK) »
On the 1851 Census I have a Thomas Richardson born Warcop Westmorland he is listed as scholar.
He is lodging with a John Lupton Farmer at Pledgcroft, Hamlet of Soolbank, Sedburgh along with John's family and quite a few other lodgers who are 'scholars'.

By this I deduct that the scholars may go to a private school in the neighbourhood.
Can any one tell me if there are private/fee paying schools around that area in the 1850's.

Thank you
Judy

Thanks for that and the link.

I wonder if any of the scholars would have lodged out of the school and gone as a day boy or if they had to board to go to that school?

Hi Judy

I've not had time to look at any other sites, but the small history section om  the school's own site says that this era of the 19C was one of the best for the school, when it had been turned round after numbers fell to only eight day boys.  So the idea of day pupils was evidently one they were useful. 

The present named, school houses seem relatively new.  ie late 19C to 20C.

So from that and what I've seen of a couple of other old private schools, where it was a case of "What you could get " to board your pupills, it's quite conceivable that this farm was one of the official boarding houses for the school for the day. 

Is it coincidence that the name of the farmer is the same as the founder, "Lupton"?  I think it's quite a local name, I might be wrong, but they may equally have been aware of at least some history,

I'll see what else I can see.

Good luck!

Thanks again for the reply.

I have just looked at the area where they were lodging - at Pedgecroft, Soolbank and it is within easy walking distance of Sedburgh.
