St George's School, Harpenden

St George's School, Harpenden.

I have just added some new information about St George's School, including a list of the staff and boarding pupils in 1891, and details of two books about the school. I was interested to discover that when the school was built Mr Wix, the first headmaster, had purchased the land from a Mrs Mardall. This is the Martha Mardall, nee Long who appears in the series of pages on cousin marriages Who is related to who?

More from the Home Counties Magazine 1901

I have updated the page on the Home Counties Magazine to include a short piece about an inquisition relating to a Chipping Barnet charity. In addition I have added a 1901 advert from the magazine to the page on St George's School, Harpenden. The advert not only gives details of the school but also gives details of the school fees.

I plan to post more extracts from this magazine during 2012.

(If any of you have any information about 19th century school fees in Hertfordshire please let me know by commenting below.)
