Thank you so much to all. Very interesting and love the newspaper bits, especially the photo/drawing of the school. Just goes to show, old postings are still relevant to others years later!

Bedfordshire / Re: LIDLINGTON SCHOOL IN 1851

Just found this chat when looking up Lidlington school in the 1861 census. I had an ancestor who is shown at the age of 12 attending this school (school master was John Miller). His parents came from Bedfordshire, but the children were born in Chelsea as the father, William Fountain, was a publican. Thought it strange that this son should be sent away to school. The other children remained in London, but they were girls and the older boys were 14 yrs + older than this child (Frederick William Fountain, but appeared to go by William). Would love to find a photo of the old school. Couldn't find anything when googling. It would appear that it was located at the juncture of the High Street and Church street?
