Place & story
Teaching and seasonal assistance
Samuel Lewis recorded Clarina’s parochial school as built in 1826 and chiefly supported by the rector and his family. The Monsell family maintained another school for their tenants’ children. About 130 pupils attended those schools together in his 1837 account. Separately, Mrs. Tuthill had left £10 a year for poor Protestant parishioners, distributed at Christmas. Lewis does not identify her further or state the amount received by each beneficiary. [2]
