Not sure if wimble hill is the same as hartley Witney poor school?
My gran and her siblings grew up in this poor school at crondall in late 1800s after her mum fell on hard times
There are pics here
http://www.workhouses.org.uk/FarnhamSD/I went to Winchester records office and they have all sorts of registers with names of all the child inmates, visitors books and timetables of how children spent their days - starting about six am with boot cleaning and potato peeling etc - and with different chores every hour all through the day - and they were given a score for their abilities on various housework tasks etc from about age 5..... All rather heartbreaking - but actually they all managed to stay in touch with their mum (who was a music hall artiste and did not have a very reliable income) and they all went on to get 'good' jobs in service, to marry and have families- and moved on to have pretty good lives on the whole. Better than the generation before them in any case.
