Mr Clarkes school. Bathwick, mid 1800's

[Vatersay]

Hello there

Does anybody know anything about Clarks school, Combe Royal, Bathwick hill? 1851
It was some kind of orphanage, was it a ragged school? Or connected to the ragged school organisation? Do any records exist for it?

Any information appreciated.

Regards Allan
