Place & story
Schools alongside worship
The parish school at Saint George’s occupied a projecting building at the east end of the Hardwicke Place church, beside its vestry room, according to Samuel Lewis in 1837. His parish account lists three parochial schools and distinguishes a girls’ boarding school, a day school for both sexes and an infants’ school. A further mixed day school benefited from a bequest by Miss Kellett. These entries record several different educational arrangements within the parish, rather than a single school serving every age and purpose. [2]
