Thank you Claire
There was provision by the Independents to provide Schooling according to Roger A Bellingham's PhD Thesis (online) of Leicester University, on Selby and several other towns. Only Selby out of those towns the author featured was also Nonconformist, he mentions this was noted in 1743, information likely from the report made by Archbishop Herring's Visitation returns 1743.
He also cites some later Public Record Office (TNA) Home Office files, so the government looks to have been collecting information on Selby Nonconformism.
Selby of old, was one of the few places where the majority could sign their own name. An indication of teaching by the Non-conformists, Quakers and as dobfarm points out the Parish and Charities (in the link).
