Excerpt from Record Series, Vol. 2 of 33: For the Year 1903, Early Yorkshire Schools
Casual mentions we get incidentally of early Grammar Schools, not only at Pickering, Skipton, and Tickhill, where there were great castles and markets, but at little places like bolton-upon-dearne and Royston and Wragby and Normanton, in the fertile plains, and Bedale, up a remote side valley in the hills. But these the main story for the present passes by.
The staple of the present volume is to be found in the interesting scraps of the story of early Pontefract, the Tudor splendour of Rotherham College, and its later brilliance before the Civil War, and the full records of the foundation, fall, and resurrection of Sedbergh in the reign of Henry VIII. And his son, the illuminating, if not illuminated, episode of its life under the Commonwealth, and its remarkable development under an Arnold of the early eighteenth century, Posthumus Wharton.
