| Disgrifiad | William Francis, schoolmaster, of Amlwch, complaining of the poor and unhealthy building in which he now holdshis school, makes application for the Old Assay Office "situate on the Bank in Cae Ty Vicar" near Parys Lodge Office, which could be at very trifling expense converted into a school-room "excellently adapted for my plan which is limited to the tuition of from 30 to 35 pupils" (1163, 1165). In this he is supported by Joseph Jones, a senior official of the Parys Mine, who stresses the need at Amlwch for a shcool such as Francis envisages, "where children can be taught in some higher branches of learning than the National School can be expected to afford". He further commends the project to the attention of the owners of the Parys mines, "where... so much room Yet remains for future scienfitic researches and improvements" (1164). Francis' application, although favourably received by John Sanderson, meets, however, with strong objections from William Morgan, the then tenant of the Assay Office, and the matter proceeds no further. |
