Proposal To Erect A Schoolroom At South Alley / Kettle Alley, Warminster Common

CFrom The Warminster Parish Magazine And Church Register, June 1868:

Christ Church, Warminster.
It is proposed, if necessary funds can be obtained, to erect a small schoolroom in that portion of Warminster Common called South, or Kettle Alley, where children can be educated whose parents are unable to send them to other schools from want of money or clothing. The room may also be used as an occasional lecture or reading room. About £150 has been promised or subscribed. £200 will be required to carry out the proposed plan. Subscriptions are earnestly requested from those who would wish to help in furthering the project; they can be paid either to Mr. Hickman or to the school account at the North Wilts Bank.
