Description: | Carr liked the building materials which he thought were local. He states it was a pity they were not used more in the South of the county. Carr records how Potterspury's first school was inaugurated by a working class vicar who eventually became a Member of the Royal Society c.1800. The President of the Royal Society at that time wrote 'Giving education to the labouring classes would be prejudicial to their morals and happiness and likely to make them fractious and refractory'. | Subjects: | Chapels Religious buildings Tombstones Traditional architecture Paintings Priories Nonconformity Abbeys Vernacular buildings Church architecture Painting | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Author/Creator: Carr, J L | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=2982... | Go to resource |
