This listing consists of two diaries donated by Christine Hinton. The first diary was made by Hugh Goold Webb, who was the Headmaster of Wanborough School Board School. This is a scan of his diary dated from 17th January 1881 to July. It is quite detailed and shows how difficult it was to keep up a good attendance of pupils.

The second diary is also a Wanborough school and runs from March 1901 to February 1910. It's an interesting look into a completely different world that they lived in just over a century ago. To read the diary in PDF format please go HERE
