Hi
Here are a couple of links about BlueCoat Schools and Old Swinford in particular.

You may be able to access more of the JSTOR site via your own on line library card.

If your library permits.
Just log in to your library site and see what facilities it offers.

Old Swinfrod Hospital School is still in existence and is a very successful Boarding School. I am sure they will have all the details you require. A previous headmaster was a very good local historian and interested in the history of both the school and its locality.

Thank you both for your help   
I will write the school  and hopefully gain some information that will help me break a few bricks in my wall.
