Finally, but by no means the
least my thanks go to the Rev. W. S. Baker for the loan of the
documents in the ‘Village Chest’ relating to Education in
Ash, to Mr. Sharpe who gave me permission to reproduce the
school photograph and to Mr. W. Simmons who let me have the
press cuttings relating to the dismissal of Miss Wright in 1940.
And to Dr. W. Urry of the Canterbury Cathedral Archives for
allowing me to look through several books, and also for his aid
generally, and specifically for his help in making Photostat
copies of the various documents relating to the School
Charities.
My gratitude also to my mother who has been very
willing to give suggestions and help where and |
|
when ever needed. She has shown great
interest in the whole work from the beginning and has been
unstinting in her encouragement. She has allowed me free access
to the School Documents under her care as the present
Headmistress to the school, and it is to her that I dedicate
this work.
If there is anyone who I have inadvertently left
out, then I apologise for the omission. There have been so many
people who have given freely of their support and encouragement,
and I am deeply indebted to them, for without it this work may
never have been completed and would definitely not have
contained so much.
