Notes

1. St John's School for Catholic children was built in January 1864. The upper floor was used as a chapel (because the old church by John Dobson had been demolished) until the new church (HER 7078) was built in 1893 - indeed the building is listed as St. John's Church in the 1871 census. When the new church was finished in 1895, both floors of the school were used as classrooms. There were over 400 pupils. The upper floor of the school had been removed by 1950, along with its gabled roof and arched windows on the west wall. Recorded in 2004 - a stone built rectangular building with five doorways, steps to those on the south elevation.

   Our readers would see in the “Illus-
   trated Chronicle” of Monday, January
   11th, the picture of the football
   competition held among the different
   battalions of the Naval Brigade, now
   interned at Groningen, Holland, as
   prisoners of war.  The captain of the
   team which won the medals, was a 
   scholar of St. John’s Boys School, Peter
   McNulty being his name.
   The present boys of the school have
   formed a fund, for the purpose of
   sending cigarettes to the hapless chaps
   in Holland, and a fair supply has
   already been sent.
   Mr. Curry, the headmaster, would
   be delighted to receive the name of
   any of the old boys, whose names
   have been omitted.
