Gloucester College School, 1844. View by by Mr. J. H. Brown, an assistant-master. 'Dr. Evans, its present Head Master, has the good sense to perceive that something besides a knowledge of Latin and Greek is required in the present day. Mathematics, Drawing, German, and French, are studied by the pupils...the domestic comforts of the scholars are most carefully provided for. Recently, a most commodious suite of rooms has been built by Dr. Evans, from designs by Messrs. Daukes and Hamilton of Gloucester, consisting of a dining-hall, a lavatory, and dormitories, most chastely fitted up and admirably arranged, all of which are well suited for the purposes for which they are intended. ..On the right appears the spire of St. John's Church, to which is attached the first Sunday-school established in this kingdom'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
