ous of our local vicars sup­ plemented their stipend by also acting as headmaster of the school and, in 1737, Thomas Armitstead, Vicar of .Milton, fulfilled the dual role. Despite its compara­


tively small size and rural isolation, the school pro­ duced some distinguished scholars; Dean Nowell of Westminster (a member of the Nowell family of Read) provided five marks apiece for 13 scholars at Brazen- ose College, Oxford; a benefaction shared by the grammar schools at Burn­ ley and Middleton. Dr Woulton, Bishop of Exeter in 157!^learned his


Greek and Batin at the lit­ tle school under the Nab. As recently as 1840 (oh


yes, 140 years is not very long from the historian’s point of view) William Heap, of Padiham, an engineer who worked with Robert Stephenson on the building of the Menai and Conway Bridges, was another of Whalley Gram­ mar School’s old boys. Doubtless, w e re the


records more complete, we would be able to list many more distinguished alumni of the little school first established over 600 years ago.
