Means of Grace: The York Charity Schools

Means of Grace: The York Charity Schools

Join Eileen Goodrum as she discusses the York Charity Schools, using her experiences in York's Grey Coat school in the nineteen forties. By this time the York Charity Schools were an anachronism, although still serving a useful purpose in providing a training for domestic service. Girls and boys emerged from the schools as worthy citizens, but thoroughly institutionalised. The Charity Schools may have long since closed, but Eileen will bring to life her experiences of this important part of the social and local history of York.
