Founders Day 15 TREVOR.Pdf
Ruthin School Mold Road, Ruthin, Denbighshire, LL15 1EE, UK Tel: +44 (0) 1824 702543 Fax: +44 (0) 1824 707141 Email: [email protected] Principal: Mr T J Belfield MA (Cantab) Established 1284 Founders’ Day – 9th May 2015 Sir John Trevor Today, I would like to speak to you about a historical figure, Sir John Trevor, an old Ruthinian from the 17th century. For years, one of the school Houses was named Trevor after Sir John. This tradition will be continued with the new girls’ boarding house with 40 bedrooms to be completed by September 2016 to be named Trevor House. John Trevor was born in 1637 near Chirk to a family that belonged to the local gentry. The exact dates of his attendance of Ruthin School are unknown, but it can be presumed that he was a pupil of the school during the political upheavals of the English Civil War, which saw Charles I executed in 1649. He started his legal career during Cromwell’s republican Commonwealth of the 1650s, and became a judge in 1661 immediately after the restoration of the Stuart monarchy. Trevor entered the House of Commons in 1673 as a Tory, supportive of the Stuart King James II. He was elected the MP for Denbighshire and had to fight a duel with the losing candidate. In 1685, he was elected Speaker of the House of Commons and also appointed Master of the Rolls, one of the highest judicial posts in the Kingdom. As Speaker, he was noted for his squint, which confused MPs trying to catch the Speaker’s eye so as to be called to speak in debates. -

Chapter V Educational Provision in Wales Part
CHAPTER V EDUCATIONAL PROVISION IN WALES PART (i) : SCHOOLS In medieval Wales it was the Church which assumed the greatest responsibility for schooling, bardic schools and possibly the households of the Welsh lords being also centres of learning. The English universities, and to a lesser extent, the continental universities and the inns of court, provided further or higher 1 education for the ablest talents of Wales. In England, by the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, lay involvement in educati4n increased, as the needs of the Crown, the aristocracy and the towns expanded, and this was also faintly apparent in as scattered and 2 rural a society as Wales. The revival of classical learning emphasised anew the educational qualities required of administrators and all useful members of the state and which were also to be expected of gentlemen. At a time of social change, in Wales as in England, education became a 3 means of asserting and of reinforcing social distinctions. Neither the schools nor the universities were particularly suited 4 to the task of preparing young gentlemen. The newer grammar schools tried tEadapt, and there were a few signs that the universities and the inns of court, though still largely institutions of professional instruction, made some concessions towards providing a more general and 5 popular education. The essential conservatism of these places meant 6 that they were not in the van of intellectual progress. Rather, they were places for disseminating received and accepted truths intermixed with north European humanism and religious ideology, giving force to 333. 7 the ideal of wise and moral service and leadership. -

There are 162 pupils, including 125 in the sixth form, who speak English as an additional language. A very few pupils speak Welsh as a first language or to an equivalent standard. The school does not aim to make pupils bilingual in English and Welsh. There are no pupils with a statement of special educational needs. -

1 the Story of Ruthin School a Broadcast by the Headmaster J. R, T
The Story of Ruthin School A Broadcast by the Headmaster J. R, T. Russell, M.A., Oxon. Reference to an unsuccessful attempt made in 1894 to alienate the endowments and include the School in the Denbighshire county scheme was made in a talk given by Mr. J. Russell T. Russell, Headmaster of the School, from the Bangor Studio last night (Thursday). Mr. Russell was at the microphone for twenty minutes, and in the course of his remarks said : In the Itinerary of John Leland, in the 16th century, one of our earliest and most famous antiquarians, we read that a House or Celle of Bonhommes, a species of mendicant monks, had once existed in Ruthin, and that it was “in time translated into the Parish Church”. A MS copy of Pope Nicholas ‘Taxation in 1292 printed out of the Tower Records early in the last century contains further information about such an establishment at Ruthin, the Head of which was called the Prior. Here we have the origin of Prior Street, the name of that part of the town of Ruthin adjoining St. Peter’s Church, as it is still known, and a piece of ground in the same vicinity was formerly called the Prior’s Fishpond. The Prior was probably the Superior of the White Friars, the Cistercian settlement alluded to by Thomas Tanner, Bishop of St. Asaph and eminent XVIIth Century antiquarian. From Pope Nicholas’ Taxation we also learn also that the Priory must have been considerable in value, and we know that such establishments, which were larger than most villages then, including as they did monks, novices, schoolboys, choristers, and semi-attached servants and unlettered brethren, were pre- eminently schools in which numbers of boys were being educated with a view to entering monastic or holy orders. -
North West Wales Dendrochronology Project
NORTH WEST WALES DENDROCHRONOLOGY PROJECT DATING OLD WELSH HOUSES - DENBIGHSHIRE TŶ CERRIG, Stryd y Cerrig, Llanfwrog, Ruthin (NGR SJ 11385 57678) © Crown copyright: Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales: Dating Old Welsh Houses: North West Wales Dendrochronology Project A cruck framed hall-house, originally half-timbered but the walls later encased in stone. The crucks are windbraced and very heavily smoke blackened. The spacing of the bays does not conform to the common house bay patterns, as far as can be discovered. In the 16th-17th century a fireplace was inserted into the hall blocking what must have been the passage creating a lobby entry, the passage being at the uphill end of a sloping site. Against this fireplace a later fireplace was added backing onto it. Over the first fireplace is a characteristic tall square Denbighshire-style chimney. No upper floor was ever added, but the 'hall' was ceiled. The exceptionally heavy smoke blackening over the outer room suggests some sort of industrial use, such as ?a blacksmith's shop. (Royal Commission Report, ref. SJ 15 NW, ?1979). Dendrochronology results: Oxford Dendrochronology Report, Miles and Bridge. Three purlins and four crucks were sampled (all oak). Two of the purlins were considered to have come from the same parent tree. Clustering of dates obtained suggests that Tŷ Cerrig was most likely constructed during 1501 (Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory Report 2011/01). The following research was completed by Dr Wally Barr and Margaret Barr using mainly data collected by the late Dr Tony Lyne; Denbighshire region, May 2012. -

Emily Hansen Thesis 106032672.Pdf
“From ‘Humanist’ to ‘Godly’?’: The Changing Social Function of Education in Early Modern English Grammar Schools” Emily Lynn Hansen PhD University of York History April 2015 Abstract This thesis explores the social function of England’s grammar schools between approximately 1480 and 1640, and how this changed due to the influences of both humanism and religious reform. It explores the grammar school curriculum, including instruction in Latin grammar and in rhetoric, as well as the teaching of Greek, religious instruction, and the general ‘experience‘ of attending school in the early modern period; it also addresses the process of founding and administering a school, the role of the schoolmaster, and the overall purpose of grammar school education, and who within society was able to benefit from that education. This thesis argues three main points: the first is that, despite becoming part of an educational ‘framework’ which was meant to help encourage religious understanding, the religious instruction found in a grammar school was in fact a very small proportion of the curriculum compared to the study of classical literature. Second, despite contemporary criticism of the humanist curriculum of grammar and rhetoric taught in the grammar schools, this curriculum remained in place continuously throughout the early modern period. Third, the definition of an ‘educated’ person was someone who had received instruction in the grammatical and rhetorical curriculum of the grammar schools, whether this was in a grammar school itself, or from a private tutor. The grammar school curriculum, and the ideal educated person which it was meant to produce, was kept very separate from other subjects, such as mathematics and modern languages and instruction in the vernacular.
