Except for St Mary’s there is a history of Sunday schools in the churches and chapels of Linslade dating back to 1843.
Although Sunday schools had a serious purpose there was a lighter side and they were popular with children because of the outings they went on and the treats they received. *Click here for an example of a Victorian Sunday school treat. The Bethel Chapel Sunday school opened on July 9th 1843 when 10 children attended. It is still active today. |
