The Norwich Diocesan National School Soc_A Comprehensive History of Norwich

contributed £250 per annum towards the support of schools in the city and

county, and has supported an institution for training mistresses for the

charge of schools. These trained teachers have been in great demand all

over the diocese. The Norwich charity schools are church schools, nine

in number, and they have afforded instruction to a large number of boys

and girls. But the education of the poor in this city has not been left

entirely to the church, as there are many British schools supported by

all classes of Nonconformists.

In early times the monks or the clergy were the schoolmasters. Their

schools, when not carried on within the walls of a monastery, were, and

have been called, Grammar Schools, up to the present time. Other similar

schools have also been established from time to time in various parts of

the district, some for educating the sons of the poor, and others for the

middle classes. The population of the country, however, increased so

rapidly, and the people were so ignorant, that no comparison can be made

with the present state of society. Dr. Bell introduced the monitorial

system, in 1796, and warmly advocated its adoption as the most effectual

means of rapidly extending popular instruction. It was as warmly

received, and he was chiefly instrumental in establishing the National

Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor in the principles of the

Established Church. This society was started in 1811, and has been very

successful. The British and Foreign Society was established shortly

before upon the principles advocated by Lancaster, of allowing the bible

to be read in the schools without note or comment.

A great change has taken place as regards the intelligence and morals of

the people, and this may be attributed to the vast increase in the number

of day and Sunday schools. Popular education is almost the creation of

the present century, although the day-school epoch may be dated from the

year 1796, when the youthful quaker, Joseph Lancaster, began to teach

children in his father’s house at Southwark. Lancaster was an enthusiast

in his calling, and acted as much in the character of a guardian to his

scholars as a master, and whilst often charging nothing for his

instruction, he fed his pupils as well. No wonder that he had at one

time 1000 scholars.

According to the census of 1851, the city contained then 45 public day

schools, with 5,207 scholars; 10 private day schools, with 2,553

scholars; and 55 Sunday schools, with 6,859 scholars, which number has

since been very greatly increased. About twenty-nine of the Sunday

schools, with 2,650 scholars, belonged to the Church of England; and

twenty-six Sunday schools with more scholars belonged to the Dissenters.

Five schools with 534 scholars were endowed schools; thirteen with 1,915

scholars were church schools; ten with 712 scholars were national

schools; five with 546 scholars were dissenting British schools. All the

rest belonged to the Non-conformists.

According to the census of 1861, the Norwich Parochial Charity Schools

afforded instruction, on the national system, to more than 700 boys and

400 girls. The Model School for boys numbered 400, and that for girls

300 scholars. New schoolrooms had been built in Heigham, Lakenham,

Thorpe, and various parts of the city; and the bishops, the clergy, and

ministers of all denominations zealously promoted the educational

movement. A great change has, as might consequently have been expected,

taken place for the better as regards the morals and intelligence of the

mass of the citizens, and this may be attributed in a great measure to

the number of day and Sunday schools. Crimes are not now of so frequent

occurrence as formerly. The magistrates and police have less to do; and

churches and chapels are more numerous, and better filled and supported.

While the population has been increasing and schools becoming more

numerous in this city, some means of continuing the education of young

men seemed to be required, and this want has been in a measure supplied

by the establishment of popular literary institutions. Of these there

have been several at various periods, including the Mechanics’

Institution, the Athenæum, the People’s College, and the Young Men’s

Institute, all of which are now defunct, and in their places we have a

Young Men’s Christian Association, and a Church of England Young Men’s

Association; the former having about 400 and the latter 200 members. Of

both of these the object is to promote the religious, moral, social, and

intellectual well-being of young men, and we are happy to be able to say

that their work is most energetically and efficiently accomplished.

There are also a School of Art and a Free Library, both of which we have

already noticed at pages 431 and 432.

As might also be expected, the growth of education and the spread of

religion have led to that which always, sooner or later, comes out of the

improved intellectual and moral condition of society—the establishment of

a large number of benevolent institutions with various noble purposes.

Perhaps it would be quite within the bounds of the strictest truth to say

that there is hardly a city or town in the kingdom, of the same

population and extent as Norwich, in which a greater amount of genuine

charity exists, and where institutions for the relief and comfort of the

sick and the poor are more abundant. In fact these are so numerous in

Norwich that we cannot even mention them. We may say, however, that

amongst them are the Norwich District Visiting Society for relieving the

sick poor at their own houses, established at a public meeting held on

January 16th, 1815; the Norwich Public Dispensary, instituted in the year

1804, for the purpose of giving advice, medicine, and attendance free of

expense to indigent persons unable to pay for the same; the Jenny Lind

Infirmary for sick children, established on May 30th, 1853, by the

proceeds of a concert, when the Swedish Nightingale was the principal

vocalist; the Benevolent Association for the relief of decayed tradesmen,

their widows and orphans, established here on November 16th, 1790; the

Norwich Magdalen or Female Home, established in 1826, for the reclamation

of females who have deviated from the paths of virtue; the Orphans’ Home,

established in 1849, for training orphan girls for domestic service; the

Soup Charity, established in 1840, for supplying the poor with a

nutritious soup at a low price in winter; the Bethel Hospital, erected in

1713, for the support and treatment of poor lunatics at a very moderate

charge; the Blind Hospital, founded in 1805 by Thomas Tawell, a blind

gentleman, for teaching the blind to read and work; the Old Man’s or St.

Giles’ Hospital in Bishopgate Street, founded by Edward VI. as an

almshouse; Doughty’s Hospital in Calvert Street, founded by William

Doughty, gentleman, in 1687, for twenty-four poor men and eight poor

women; and, most valuable of all, the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital for

the relief of sick and lame poor. This last, in fact, is an institution

of such importance, and is accomplishing so important a use, that we deem

it deserving of a more extended notice. This noble institution is an

extensive brick building situated on St. Stephens Road. It was erected

in 1771 at a cost of more than £21,000, including about £8,000 expended

on subsequent additions and improvements. It has been considerably

enlarged at different times, and it is fitted up with all the latest

improvements. It was commenced by the voluntary contributions of the

benevolent, and has received many donations and legacies. It has been

well supported by a long list of annual subscribers. In 1867 the annual

subscriptions amounted to £2038 14s. 0d.; benefactions, £422 3s. 4d.;

collections, £313 1s. 7d.; legacies, £124 4s. 10d.; dividends and

interest, £745 15s. 1d.; sundries, £62 0s. 4d.; total, £3785 19s. 2d.

The expenditure in that year amounted to £4935 9s. 3d. The stock

purchased since 1770 amounts to £23,976 12s. 7d. The stock sold since

1770, £4890 4s. 4d. Present stock, £22,091 9s. 5d.—3 per cents. Bank

stock, £166 13s. 4d. From 1824 to 1864 the institution received £6018

1s. 9d. from the profits of the Triennial Festivals in St. Andrew’s Hall.

From the opening of the hospital in 1772 to January 1st, 1868, in-door

patients 56,828, out-door 52,387. Daily average number of in-patients,

133; average number of days of each, 43. The physicians and surgeons

attend in turn to take in-patients every Saturday at 11 a.m., and every

Wednesday at the same hour to prescribe for the out-patients,

gratuitously.

The affairs of the institution are superintended by a board of

management, selected annually from the governors, who consist of persons

who have contributed thirty guineas or upwards at one time; and that the

institution is managed well is sufficiently attested by the vast amount

of good which, through a long series of years, it has successfully

effected, and the cordial support which it has uniformly received from

the nobility, gentry, and trading community of both city and county.

Doubtless it is a noble exemplification of true Christian Charity, and it

is earnestly to be hoped that as years pass on its means of usefulness

will be more and more extended by the increasing sympathy and support of

an appreciative public.

THE ORWELL WORKS, IPSWICH.

* * * * *

THE Orwell Works, Ipswich, where from 1000 to 1100 men and boys are

constantly employed, are situated on the edge of the Wet Dock, to which

they have a frontage of 935 feet, the largest dock frontage in the

possession of any private trading company in the United Kingdom. The

Great Eastern Railway runs into the yards, and goods may be packed in the

Orwell Works yard and delivered at any place having railway communication

with London without unloading.

The works occupy twelve acres of ground, of which about two-thirds is

roofed over, and the demand for covered space continually increases.

From 5,000 to 6,000 tons of complete machinery, chiefly for agricultural

uses, annually leave the works. These, if placed side by side and close

together, would cover at least ten acres. These machines go to all parts

of the world. Orders have been executed for almost every country in

Europe, for North and South America, for Persia, India, the Spice

Islands, Australia, Africa, and other countries. The catalogues and

price currents of the firm have been printed in many languages of the Old

and the New World.

The factory is divided into two parts by a road leading direct into the

Quay. On the southern side are situated the Foundry, Smith Shops, Plough

Shops, and Stores. Whilst on the northern side are the Engine-Erecting

Shop, Thrashing Machine Shop, and other shops for the construction of

Mills and smaller agricultural machines, such as Screens, Grinding Mills,

Chaff-Cutters, Turnip-Cutters, &c.

The foundry is large and well furnished with cranes and the other

appliances of the moulders’ art—especially with patent machinery for

moulding, by which an extraordinary rate of production and of accuracy is

secured. The smithy contains 73 forges, and nearly in the centre there

is fixed one of Nasmyth’s large steam hammers.

Ploughs, for which this firm have so long been famous, are fitted up in a

large shop, after the forgings and castings have been prepared in the

smithy and foundry. Every plough turned out, and which are numbered by

thousands in the course of one year, come under the eye of the foreman or

inspector, and are thoroughly examined, to see that every part is

correct. Here also are made Horse Rakes, Haymakers, and other field

implements.

In the northern block are fixed the valuable engineers’ tools, lathes,

stoking machines, &c., necessary for the turning, shaping, and fashioning

all the component parts of a steam-engine or other complex machine. Here

also the patterns are made, and here the produced machine receives its

final perfection. At the extreme northern end of the factory are the

shops where are made the steam thrashing and other agricultural machines,

of which wood is a principal component, the wood-work being conveniently

introduced into this shop from a detached timber yard, where is fixed all

the wood-working machinery by which the frameworks of the steam thrashers

and other machines are completely fashioned.

In between the northern and southern parts of the Works the Offices are

situated, and it will give _some_ idea of the magnitude of the business

when we say that last year upwards of 34,000 letters were received and

answered. The Commercial Office is 100 feet long, and the manufacturing

office 40 feet long.

Our remaining space must be devoted to the productions of the firm.

Everyone knows that the name of Ransome has been associated with the

plough from the earliest period of its improvement until its present

highly perfected condition, and that in many a well-contested struggle in

England and abroad, before all kinds of tribunals, the Ransome plough has

been eminently successful, and is manufactured in annually increasing

numbers.

The first great improvement in the plough, viz., the Patent Chilled

Plough Share was the invention of Robert Ransome, the founder of the

firm, and was patented in 1803. _Now_ these patent shares are in

universal use. Indeed to the improvement of the plough and the unwearied

energy of the founder and his two sons, James and Robert Ransome, the

firm may be said to owe its origin and subsequent success.

Messrs. Ransomes were also one of the earliest makers of the portable

steam engine, and are at the present time amongst the largest producers

of this very important machine in the kingdom. Within the last ten

years, engines of this class, to the aggregate power of 10,000 horses

nominal, have left the Orwell Works.

The steam thrashing machines made by the firm, which possess peculiar

advantages of construction, are also produced in very large numbers, and

have carried off a large number of prizes.

To the merits of these and other inventions developed and manufactured by

the firm, the long line of prize diplomas in the commercial office, the

large box of medals, gold, silver, and bronze, the decorations bestowed

on partners of the firm by the Sultan of Turkey and the King of Portugal,

and, recently, the gold medal of the Paris Exhibition, bear abundant

testimony and need no confirmation of ours.

We may just add that the manufacture of railway material, which has

formed part of the business hitherto conducted at the Orwell Works, will

shortly be transferred to a branch of the old firm, who are building a

new factory on the banks of the Orwell. This will give Messrs. Ransomes,

Sims, and Head, increased space, and facilities for the manufacture of

agricultural machinery, to which they will henceforth give their

exclusive attention.
