He then did a "quick recce" of the
1901 Census to see how many pupils there were then. He told me: "The answer:
23 pupils with just two teachers (one being the headmaster, Guy Lewis), a
matron, three housemaids, one kitchen maid, one cook, one waitress and one
female caretaker of the sanatorium that was opposite the school in London
Road."
He added: "Sanatorium was a
fancy name in those days, I think, for a sick bay."
