This entry from the school log books reads
"The School visited by two clergymen of this town to
day Revds. Brierly & Watcham: the former desired me to know
whether any of my bigger boys would be agreeable to be apprenticed
as a pupil teacher at their new National School, but on making
enquiries, none of them seemed to Care for it: they heard the
children sing a few rounds, examined their Copy books, drawings,
&c., and they expressed their pleasure at the state of things
in this School."
