A History of Giggleswick School from its Foundation, 1499 to 1912

"A History of Giggleswick School from its Foundation, 1499 to 1912" by Edward Allen Bell is a record of the long, quiet life of Giggleswick School, which began in the late 1400s, and shows its growth, problems, and important times. Focusing on how it started and changed, the book explains how the school affected learning and the calm way its history played out. The story begins by setting up the school's history, telling how James Carr started it as a religious school in the 15th century. It talks about how little is known about the school's early days and how it changed from a private school to a well-known place of learning with money from the king. Main points include the problems the school faced, how it didn't have many big events or fights, and how students over the years felt strongly connected and loyal to it, which suggests that its real story is in how it lasted and how much its students cared about it.
