This position does not attract fee remission. Colfe’s School Colfe’s is one of London’s oldest schools, with origins in the fifteenth century and it was re-founded by Abraham Colfe, Vicar of Lewisham, in 1652. The Governors decided in 1977 that the School should return to independent status after 25 years as a voluntary aided grammar school. Whilst proud of its 350-year history, Colfe’s is a modern school whose central purpose is to prepare pupils for the challenges of the 21st century. Distinctive features include vertical tutoring, within the context of a very strong house system, and a learning culture in which intellectual versatility and resilience are fostered. The Junior School, comprising EYFS, KS1 and KS2 pupils, is located on the same site as the senior school and fully integrated with it. Colfe’s educates pupils from 3-18. The EYFS/KS1 part of the school has recently undergone an expansion and now caters for 220 pupils. This significant building project has seen the creation of stunning new classrooms, a dedicated ICT suite, music room, library and multi-purpose hall. The KS2 part of school is equally successful with three forms in each year group. A major new Sixth Form and teaching complex, the Stewart Building, opened in autumn 2015. Pupils achieve consistently well in all areas of the curriculum and are particularly successful in art and Sport. Colfe’s enjoys a very strong reputation locally, in Greenwich and Blackheath. Its proximity to the London borough of Lewisham guarantees a high degree of social diversity which is further supported by the bursary programme, funded in part by the Leathersellers’ Company. The School has selective entry and academic standards are high with GCSE results typically around 55% A*/A with A level results consistently above 80% A*/B. More than 50% of pupils gain places in Russell Group universities, including Oxford and Cambridge. Pupils also win places at top universities for art, music and drama, reflecting the importance of the Arts at the creative heart of the school. Competitive sport has a high priority: Colfe’s teams have won national netball competitions in recent years and two recent leavers have played rugby for England at U16, U17 and U18 level. Colfe’s links with former pupils remains strong through the Old Colfeian Society and the work of the Development Office.

  • Social Institutions in Kent 1480-1660
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 75 1961 SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN KENT 1480-1660 III. THE STRUCTURE OF ASPIRATIONS A. The poor THE persistent and the principal concern of Kentish donors, if our whole long period may be taken in view, was the care of the poor. The immense sum of £102,519 7s., amounting to 40-72 per cent, of the total of the charitable funds of this rich county, was poured into one or another of the several forms of poor relief. The largest amount was provided for the relief of the poor in their own homes, a total of £52,242 7s. having been given for this purpose, constituting more than one-fifth (20'75 per cent.) of all charities and considerably more than that given for any other specific charitable use. As we have already noted, a heavy proportion (90-05 per cent.) of this total was vested in the form of permanent endowments, thereby establishing institutional mechanisms for the alleviation of what may be regarded as the most pressing of the social problems of the age. Another great sum, £44,614 3s., was provided for almshouse establishments in all parts of the county, this being the second largest amount given for any one charitable use and amounting to 17-72 per cent, of the whole of the charitable re- sources of Kent.1 In addition, the sum of £5,067 17s., of which about 97 per cent. (96-60 per cent.) was capital, was designated for general charitable uses, which in Kent as elsewhere almost invariably meant that the income was employed for some form of poor relief.

Letters from the “Gentlemen of the Press,” 1810-1845 David E. Latané Virginia Commonwealth University In John Wilson Croker: Irish Ideas and the Invention of Modern Conservatism, 1800-1835, Robert Portsmouth analyzes the way in which the newspaper press was manipulated via interlocking circles of journalists and politicians during the era of Reform. In addition to Croker, one of the important figures in the Tory press was his fellow Irishman William Maginn, and it was in the course of researching and writing William Maginn and the British Press: A Critical Biography (Ashgate, 2013) that I began collecting letters to and from members of the press. The letters presented here help reveal the shape of relationships that prevailed on Fleet Street at the cusp of the Victorian era. A quick note dashed off by legendary Times editor Thomas Barnes, for instance, to John Wilson Croker shows how careful Barnes was, even as his paper was supporting the Whigs, to avoid offense to a powerful Tory politician and Quarterly reviewer.

  • Dr Henry H. Drake's Hundred of Blackheath, Being Part I. of His New
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 16 1886 ( 440 ) DE. DEAKE'S NEW EDITION OF " HASTED'S HISTOEY OF KENT." PART I. THE HUNDEED OF BLAOKEATH. BY CANON SCOTT ROBERTSON. THIS handsome folio volume, of 357 pages, contains a perfect mine of information, never before brought together. It is fully worthy of the honour bestowed upon it by Her Majesty the Queen, who permits it to be dedicated to herself; and it is quite worth the large price of £5, at which it is issued. The title-page describes it as " Hasted's History of Kent, corrected, enlarged, and continued to the present time, from the MS. Collections of the late Eev. Thomas Streatfeild and the late Eev. Lambert Blackwell Larking, the Public Eecords, and other sources. Edited by Dr. Henry H. Drake. Part I. THE HUNDKED OP BLACKHEA.TH. Published by Mitchell and Hughes, 140 Wardour Street, W." Some idea of the arduous nature of the work done by Dr. Drake may be gathered from the fact that this volume has been five years in the Press. The printing commenced in 1881. Mr. John Wiugfiekl Larking, to whose munificent liberality the work owes its existence, has given in his Preface, addressed to the Noble and Gentle Men of Kent, an interesting description of the long-continued labours of Mr. Streatfeild and Mr. Lambert Larking in preparation for a new edition of Hasted. Their Collections, however, do not supply one-half of the additional matter which is furnished in Dr. Drake's new book. He has ransacked all the Public Eecords, and has printed a brief precis of every Will connected with the seven parishes in the Hundred of Blackheath, as well as of every useful extract from the Close Eolls, the Fine Eolls, the Parochial Accounts, Domestic State Papers, Chancery Eecords, and Inquisitiones post mortem, Terriers and Eentals of Manors, Subsidy Eolls, and the Parochial Eegisters of Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials ; of the last-named Eegisters his extracts fill nineteen folio .

    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 75 1961 SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN KENT, 1480-1660 as the result of the generosity of many benefactors, with the result that Kent was a better county in which to live and work as the aspirations of these donors were realized. D. Education. The benefactors of Kent were through the entire course of our period deeply interested in expanding and strengthening the educational resources with which the county was provided at the close of the Middle Ages. In all, the great total of £58,255 16s. was given for the various educational uses between 1480 and 1660, amounting to almost a quarter (23-14 per cent.) of the whole of the charitable funds of the county.1 This proportion was only slightly less than that given for the numerous religious needs of Kent (26-77 per cent.), but was of course dwarfed by the outpouring for the several forms of poor relief. Even during the decades prior to the Reformation substantial sums were provided for the educational needs of the shire, the total of £13,286 10s. given in this interval substantially exceeding the whole amount given for poor relief and amounting to about 18 per cent, of all benefactions made during these decades. This proportion rose slightly in the troubled Reformation era and then very sharply indeed during the Elizabethan age, when somewhat more than a fourth (25-38 per cent.) of all benefactions was designated for educational purposes. The great outpouring occurred in the early Stuart period, when £25,170 7s. was provided for the various educational needs, an amount accounting for 26-79 per cent, of all charities in the interval.

Xist of Ibeafc The following list of Head Masters has been prepared as an appendix to the paper read'before this Society by Dr. Bramley, at the Grammar School, in June, 1888, on the Life and Times of the Rev. Abraham Colfe, vicar of Lewisham 1610 to 1657, and Founder of the School. It should be explained that the school possesses no registers or records that throw any light either on the Head Masters or their method of work, and the information in one or two instances might well be extended. I should, therefore, be glad of any notes on the subject which will amplify these short biographies of the men who have presided over Lewisham's oldest institution (next to the Parish Church) since its foundation by Mr. Colfe two and a half centuries ago. In the paper referred to above (which has been printed) will be found an account of the school and its founder; but it will not be out of place here to append the directions given by Mr. Colfe in his will for the election of the Head Master:— "Item, my will is that from the month of April, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty-Six, and thence forward only, Thirty Pounds of lawful money shall be paid every year, yearly, but of my estate, for teaching Thirty-One Youths or Male Children of the Laity, besides the Children of the Ministers incumbent, chosen out of all the Parishes of the Hundred of Black- heath freely, to
