Teaching the Heathens Summary

Teaching the Heathens: The story of schooling in the village of Mannings Heath in the Sussex Parish of Nuthurst through the 19th and 20th Centuries by Howard Malleson

This story is about the long-lost schools at the heart of a Sussex village - Mannings Heath - in the parish of Nuthurst. Researching and writing the story has been a project of the Nuthurst Local History Society. The result has been a record of 150 years of teaching the Heathens, and of village life through the 19th and 20th centuries. It includes religious, educational and political events that shaped the teaching of the children and the life of the village through times of major social and industrial change including violent riots, rebellion and harsh punishment. The story reveals the far-reaching and positive developments in the education of children, the impact of two world wars on village life, village politics and rivalries, battles with County and National authorities, clashes between the Methodist and Church of England leaders and, most importantly, acts of individual generosity and endeavour - all the stuff of real life. For this novice author, the process of researching and telling the story has been a voyage of discovery - both of historical research and of the 150 extraordinary years in the life of a small West Sussex village.

Teaching the Heathens Reviews

Buildings, however modest and remote, are repositories of the memories of generations of folk who lived or worked in them. In the case of the primary schools that once sat in the West Sussex village of Mannings Heath, the bricks are long gone, but thanks to the careful and thorough research of the author, the memories remain. The 150-year journey of these small country schools, and the teachers and children who worked in them, reflects the changing times they passed through. A very readable mixture of individual accounts, set in the background of social developments and educational progression. - Tony Turner, February 2022
