This book offers an in-depth historical account of the Red Maids School, a charitable institution founded in the 17th century by Alderman John Whitson to educate impoverished girls in the city of Bristol. Drawing on the school's own records, the author provides a detailed overview of the school's governance, administration, and curriculum, as well as the challenges and successes it faced throughout its history. The book also examines the evolving role of charitable education for girls in England, and the ways in which the school adapted to meet the changing social and economic conditions of the 17th to 19th centuries. Compiling a rich collection of archival material, the author sheds light on the daily lives of Red Maids students, the mistresses who taught them, and the trustees who oversaw the school's operations.
