Place & story
A wholly supported parish school
Archdeacon Stopford wholly supported Carnteel’s parochial school for boys and girls, according to Samuel Lewis in 1837. Together with four other schools, it taught about 240 boys and 150 girls. Lewis separately recorded a private school with sixty boys and twenty girls, and five Sunday schools. The figures describe the wider historical parish network, rather than attendance solely in Carnteel village. [2]
