| Description | The eighteenth century has been characterized as the era of the 'charity school movement'. In fact, there is considerable ambiguity in this phrase, since schools of many types and periods were in a sense charity schools, while the principle of public subscription in order to finance a school was not an invention of the eighteenth century, nor were other features of 'charity schools', such as the practice of providing clothes for the children or apprenticing them when they left school. Before looking more generally at surviving elementary-school buildings of this period, it is necessary to give a brief outline of the important social and economic changes which stimulated interest in the education of the poor. A workhouse, built near the school in 1752 and extended after the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, was later converted into almshouses, which were demolished in 1966 and have been replaced by old people's flats.
