EDUCATION.
In 1818 there were two dame
schools but no educational endowment. (fn. 65) A Sunday
school that was started in 1820 had an attendance of
30 in 1825, when there was also a dame school kept
by the parish clerk, (fn. 66) and of 40 in 1833, when the
Sunday-school master received £5 a year. (fn. 67) There
was apparently no school at all in 1846. (fn. 68) A National
school was established in a new building in 1863, (fn. 69)
and had an attendance of 38 in 1869. (fn. 70) The building,
which is a single-story brick building incorporating
a two-story teacher's house, (fn. 71) was enlarged in 1896.
Attendance fell from 71 in 1902 (fn. 72) to 44 in 1936 ; (fn. 73) in
1968, when the older children went to school in
Quedgeley and Stroud, there were 32 children in
two departments. (fn. 74)
