TEACHERS & OFFICERS OF ACKWORTH SCHOOL 1779-1894
and
LIST OF ACKWORTH SCHOLARS 1779-1879
    This set of two facsimile books is a limited edition of just 250 copies, all signed and numbered. It was reprinted to coincide with the seminar held at The Ackworth Quaker School in England, held in December of 2006. These reference books are an invaluable resource for needlework historians, trying to trace the roots of samplers perhaps worked at the school during this period of time. The former book (Teacher & Officers) includes portraits of some of the school staff with some biographical information. The book is hard bound, with 108 pages. The second book (List of Ackworth Scholars) is extensive, with each pupil's residence, date entered and date left the school. This volume has 211 pages.
