Colchester - Bluecoat & Barracks Street Charity Schools
« on: Thursday 24 November 22 18:03 GMT (UK) »
There are notes relating to several charity schools in Colchester.
Does anyone know if
- There are surviving pupil lists in the 1812-1825 period?
- At what age would a child typically be admitted to a charity school in that period?
- At what age would their education be ended in the same period?

Many thanks.

Ask at the Essex Record Office in Chelmsford. They answer emails within 2days.

When you type Charity Schools in the catalogue search it brings up 144 items.
