Title: Boreham
Post by: wizadora on Sunday 17 July 11 19:18 BST (UK)

Hi,

Has anyone done any research into the history of Boreham.  I visited there last weekend as some of my ancestors have gravestones in St Andrews Church but I believe they were probably Catholic, they worked at New Hall, Boreham.

I would like to get more information on what would be at New Hall in the mid to late 1800's, is there a book that is published locally the I could buy.

Thank you in advance.

In 2006 the book New Hall and its school, by Tony Tuckwell, was published.

The school moved to New Hall in January 1799.

Chapter 21: New Hall 1860 - 1889.
There were around 50 pupils although this number fluctuated from year to year over this period (33 - 60.)
