School Room
St Mary’s Church School in Flambards Village is a rarely intimate school - most Victorian classes would usually contain 70 to 80 pupils.
Victorian classroom punishments would include kneeling for prolonged periods of time, the strap, or the dreaded cane.
The girls were taught housewifery, sweeping, dusting, making beds, bathing a baby, needlework and cookery, while the boys were taught the trades.
