| Dr. Joseph Stevens, of Reading, favours me with the following note: "The family of Malthus was of considerable note in Reading during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. It is now extinct. Members of this family were benfactors to the Reading Blue Coat School, which was formerly in Silver Street, but now is established in the Bath Road. "It was founded by Richard Aldworth in 1656. The funds were increased in 1666 by Sir Thos. Rich, of Sonning. "In 1696 Mr. John Hall became a benefactor by a rent-charge on lands at Englefield. "In 1720 Mr. John West provided for the maintenance and education of 6 poor boys, apprenticing them, etc. "In 1723 MR. MALTHUS left £91 yearly for the education and support of '10 green coat boys.' Man, in his 'History of Reading,' says 11, but thinks this number may be incorrect. "And, in 1786, Mr. John Leggat left the sum of £50 towards the support of the School. "The boys are well taught, many of the higher tradesmen in Reading having been educated there. "The boys wear long frocks or coats, with breeches and yellow stockings--no cap." |
