Artist
Unknown authorUnknown author.
Title
English: Endowed School, Dunstable.
Description
English: William Chew's house, on High Street South in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England, UK, which was used as a school. Chew died unmarried in March 1712 or 1713, and left an estate worth £28,000 which was inherited by his sisters Mrs. Frances Ashton and Mrs. Jane Cart, and by Thomas Aynscombe, the son of his sister Elizabeth. Prior to his death Chew had declared an intention to build a schoolhouse in Dunstable and to endow it to pay for the master's salary and the teaching of 40 poor boys. However, as he died intestate, it was his heirs who carried out his wishes. The schoolhouse was built in 1715, and by settlements made in 1724 and 1727 the school was endowed with the income of certain farms amounting to £150 each year. Renamed Chew's Foundation School in 1880, the school continued to operate until 1905. The house is now used as church offices.
