Hi dear reader,
I am looking for someone who is able to help to inform me about William Piderit
who was working at Cowper House School, Huntingdon St. Mary in 1880. ( British Census 1880 )
Is this school still existing ?
Are there any archives to find people in ?
Help will be greatly appreciated ! Thank you.
Dolf Piederiet

Extract taken from Huntingdon District Council website
Although modern in its outlook and in many of its buildings, Huntingdon does retain old features reminiscent of its long history. Both of its two churches (the only survivors of the original 16!) are of architectural interest and All Saints' in the town centre has a remarkably fine chancel roof and a beautiful stained-glass window showing the Te Deum.
There are quite a number of elegant 18th Century houses in the town including Ferrar House, Cowper House, being the home of the poet William Cowper, Montagu House and Whitwell House. Also in the town is Cromwell House built in the 19th Century on the site of the house in which that famous man was born. He attended the town's Grammar school and what survives of this building is now the Cromwell Museum with many contemporary portraits, documents and Cromwell relics.

Hello Bryant,
thank you for your efforts to find some information about the family Piderit, concerning their British existing.
I can fill in some blanks now.
One more question: Do you know if there is any archive left of this school and where I have to go to get more detailed information ?
Thanks again,
Dolf Piederiet, the Netherlands

Huntingdon's new archive and library (a stones throw from the HIgh Street) may also be able to help.
For some reason it won't let me post the link here, but just google Huntingdon library and archive and you'll find it.
