National School - Cheadle

[denyse_aus]

All Saints National School at Church Road, Smithy Green, Cheadle Hulme.  The school was opened in 1873 as a result of the 1870 Education Act.  It was built on the site of a farm previously occupied by the Faulkner family.  The school became the venue for various church organisations until the Parish Hall opened in 1910.  The school was demolished in 1973 & the site is now occupied by All Saints Church Hall, which opened in 1974, and a small car park.  The first Master was Elijah Chambers with Elizabeth Chambers as the first Mistress. My husband's grandmother's sister, Ida Boulderstone, attended the school. Their father owned a cornmill in Mill Lane, Adswood, Cheadle Hulme.

The Church Hall was demolished a few years ago and replaced by flats!

The parish rooms which are seperate form the Church still stand and are over the road form the Church

Hello,
       My gg-grandfather was a schoolmaster in Cheadle in the late 1860s. He was a certificated master and I believe he worked there for about ten years. I'm looking for any information about the national school in Cheadle around this time. Hope you can help.
                         Thanks

Hi Wayne,

In 1913 or 1914, Ida Boulderstone attended All Saints National School at Church Road, Smithy Green, Cheadle Hulme.  I have a class photograph when she was about 12 years old. The Headmaster at that time was C. G. Kirk. The photo was in a book at some time but I've never had a copy of the book.

I found the following about the school by Googling:
The school was opened in 1873 as a result of the 1870 Education Act.  It was built on the site of a farm previously occupied by the Faulkner family.  The school became the venue for various church organisations until the Parish Hall opened in 1910. 

The school was demolished in 1973 & the site is now occupied by All Saints Church Hall, which opened in 1974, and a small car park. 

The first Master was Elijah Chambers with Elizabeth Chambers as the first Mistress.

Regards,
Denyse
