List of English and Welsh endowed schools (19th century)
This is a list of endowed schools in England and Wales existing in the early part of the 19th century. It is based on Nicholas Carlisle's survey of "Endowed Grammar Schools" published in 1818,[1] but is referenced to the work of the Endowed Schools Commission half a century later. Most English and Welsh endowed schools were at the time described as grammar schools, although there was no formal system for such schools, and there was even no clear definition of the term "grammar school" at this period. A medieval grammar school was one which taught Latin, and this remained an important subject in all the schools, which generally followed the traditions of Oxford and Cambridge, from which almost all of their graduate schoolmasters came. Some of the schools listed by Carlisle had long been fee-paying public schools, although in most cases (as at Eton and Winchester) retaining some provision for the teaching of "scholars" who paid reduced or no fees.
An endowment for educational purposes had an original purpose, often intended by the founder or founders to be legally binding, but the objects of such endowments were not always honoured by those controlling the schools. Carlisle compiled his list by means of a questionnaire, which was not always answered. The Commission's report built on his research, while not accepting all his claims on the continuity of certain schools from monastic and chantry foundations, which affected the dating of schools. The chronological list in the report has numerous further details of endowments.
There is little consistency in the actual names of grammar schools from this period. Many were called "free school". The antiquarian Carlisle used some unorthodox spellings, and he listed Hampshire as if it were "Southamptonshire", under S.
