GENUKI: Penistone Parish information from White's 1837. |
 | | THE FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL was found, by an inquisition taken in the 1st of James I to have been endowed from time immemorial, with several messuages, lands, and yearly rent charges. |
 | | The school is free to all the sons of parishioners, for English reading, and the classics, but a small charge is made for writing and accounts. |
 | | SAMUEL WORDSWORTH, in 1703, bequeathed £400 for the church and Free Grammar School, and £100 for the poor parishioners. |
