Goathland School
Goathland School was founded in 1808 and opened on its present site on 6 April 1811.
In the 1990's F.W. 'Bill' Peirson produced an archive for the school, ('The Peirson School Archive'), which was digitised in 2008 as part of Goathland School’s celebration of their 200th Anniversary. (Thanks to Elsie Smith.)
