Description:Excerpt from Documents Illustrating Early Education in Worcester: 685 to 1700 The object of this volume is to present in a collected form all the records which can be found bearing on the history of education in Worcester to the year 1700. As it is usual - at least up to the year 1896 - to impute not only the beginnings, but practically the whole of education before the Reformation to the monasteries and the monks, special pains have been taken to ransack the monastic archives of Worcester for any and every educational entry. Thanks to the labours of Canon James Maurice Wilson - himself first at Rugby and then as Headmaster of Clifton, a life-long devotee of education, and after he had long been dowered with the baton of retirement, acting Headmaster of the King's School for a term in 1908 - in collecting and procuring the collection, sorting and arrangement of the muniments of the Dean and Chapter, the task of extracting the educational entries from them has been immensely lightened. But for his work it could hardly have been attempted at all. As far as the monks are concerned, the harvest is small in proportion to the labour spent on it. It consists chiefly of items, repeated year after year from the end of the thirteenth to the middle of the sixteenth century, in the account rolls of the Cellarer representing his payments for the two monks maintained as scholars at Oxford, and more varied, but less regular, entries from the account rolls of the Almoner and the Warden of the Lady Chapel from the middle of the fifteenth to the middle of the sixteenth century of expenditure on the maintenance and education of the small number of boys, never exceeding fourteen, who were kept in the Almonry and sang in the Lady Chapel.
