Old School Ties
Wednesday 11 March 19:30
An illustrated talk by Ann Morton, former Head of Modern Records at The National Archives. Education in Carshalton during the Victorian period was surprisingly varied – from dame schools to a military academy, catering for not only children of the labouring poor but also officer cadets. The combined efforts of individuals of different religious persuasions, local landowners and energetic local ladies produced a diversity of school provision part-regulated by government inspection until the introduction of a country-wide system of elementary (primary) education overseen by a school board.
Tickets are £5 (£4.50 Friends). Please book via www.sutton.gov.uk/librariesheritageevents.
