ta poiiiL out that the ciiarier, creating and endowing tho school in l.jo-l, contained m mention of a school hou.se, and wo know from some of the papers relating tn ai action, brought in l.aS", by Christopher Xowcll, James Aspinall and Thomas White- hoad sigainst Ale.'iandcr (Jrceiiacres and some of tho governors, that a school house liad not then boon orocled, and lhat from the date of tlio charter the school was held in St. Mary’s Cluireh, Clitheroe.


It may


appear strange that the churcli was used for over thirty years for sucli a secular puriiose as oondueting a school therein,


! but ill mediaeval times there was not such a strict lino drawn betwoon liio secular am! religious as there is to-day. ami tlicri’ plenty of ovid(*nce, from various parts of the country, tlial in former times elnirche.s were usi*d for many secular purpo.se.s. .Mrs. J.

In his de­ fence to the action he olfercd to build a


schoolliousi'. and apparently the Court ordered him to do so,


ol the claims against him in ropect of the lease. l ie built a schonlhouse, prohahly in l.'jSS.
