Harrow and Winchester trustees debate sparks church control critique
A Daily Telegraph summary of a House of Commons debate on the Public Schools Act of 1868 features criticism of seven large schools, including Harrow, for maintaining Church of England influence. The author argues trusteeship should reflect the parish, not a narrow clerical mandate, noting Harrow’s poor foundationers and disputes over religious qualification. The piece questions the Solicitor-General’s stance and Gladstone's claim that Harrow is clearly a Church of England school.
