Thomas Walklate and Mellor School by David Ackroyd - £5.00This updated edition of a book first published in 1998 tells of a yeoman farmer who had the foresight to endow a village school. It follows the work of the Walklate Educational Foundation established in 1639 when the first Mellor School was built through to the present day.

All profits support the Walklate Educational Foundation.
