Most detailed accounts of the early Sunday schools relate primarily to London or the industrial Midlands and North; this article records the experience of a rural county in the South. The evidence of the extent of the 'Sunday school movement' in Sussex in the late 18th century is examined. Sunday schools were then one-day-a-week charity schools. Motives for setting them up were mixed, but in Sussex the dominant motive appears to have been to preserve the social order. They were established more at the instigation of the laity than of the clergy. They evidenced growing acceptance of the idea of more widespread schooling of the poor, financed by the affluent, and the relatively large numbers of children the 18th-century Sunday schools accommodated prefigured the general expansion of elementary education that occurred in the early decades of the 19th century. | ||||||
