Does anyone know of, or have acces to, any books or reecords relating to Loughborough House School? Is it perhaps mentioned in any Surrey history books?
I am interested in what dates when the following gentelmen were teachers at the school.
Rev Richard Turner Snr 1720-1791
Rev Richard Turner Jnr 1752-1788
Rev William Hancock Roberts 1745-1814
I know about the books the Turners wrote and of their National Biography entires.
Richard Snr wrote books between 1761 and 1766 and two of thes say 'teacher at Worcester' but don't identify the shool. A later book in 1787, a course in mathematics and geometry may have been at Loughborough house.
Richard Jnr wrote books between 1778 and 1788 and these were aimed as school texts, at least one mentions Loughborough House School
I also know that shortly after Richard Snr died, in 1791, his wife Sarah wrote her will and gave her place of residence as Loughborough House.
I know that William Roberts was headmaster at Kings School, Worcester, until 1788 and that he was married to the Sarah, the daughter of Richard Snr so I suspect Roberts was at Loughborough when his mother in law Sarah wrote her will.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
