Schools in Heddon

  • Description

    based on articles by George Clark and Pat Farnaby. " There is evidence of education in the village as far back as 1656, when the baptism was recorded on 2nd December 1656 of the infant son of one Walter Salvin, schoolmaster .... Mrs Margaret Bewicke built the first school in the parish, at Houghton in 1814, primarily for the children of Close House estate, to be educated at her expense. It remained the only school in the area until the first "voluntary" school was established in Heddon in 1852, by the Church of England...."
