North Warwickshire is steeped in history with castles, stately homes and a ruined monastery. Charity and dame schools provided a basic education for a few children but by the time 'free' education became law in 1891, most villages had a church school. They were rarely idyllic with
few resources and no electric lighting. Teachers struggled with unruly 'free-range' country children and just like today, lived in fear of exam results and the school inspector.
A history, with over 70 contributors, pupils and teachers who tell their own stories. Many photographs. 112 pages. Book size approx A4.
