BURLINGTON SCHOOL.
This Institution was established by voluntary contributions
in the year 1699, and had for its original object the instruction
of 60 poor girls whose parents could not afford to educate
them. A site for the School was obtained in 1719 from the
Earl of Burlington, and the building was opened for the
reception of scholars in 1725, when 35 poor girls were
admitted. The property of the charity has since been increased
by the gift of a house from an unknown donor, and
several pecuniary legacies, the two most important bequests
being one of £500 by Priscilla Rolls, and one of £2,000 by
Peter le Quainter.
A scheme for the management of the School was established
by the Charity Commissioners on the 8th July, 1875,
and under this Scheme two of the Governors are elected by
the Vestry, the present Governors so elected being Mr.
Thomas Henry Elam and Mr. William. Cox.
