Standard, 16 July 1938: SCHOLARSHIP SUCCESS. Mr J W Harding, of 30, High
Street, Moorsholm, has three grandchildren who have recently achieved
scholastic successes. John H Harding, son of Mr and Mrs Matt Harding, have been
granted a North Riding scholarship tenable at the Guisborough Grammar School.
Edith Harding, daughter of Mr and Mrs Miles Harding, has received a similar
award tenable at Stockton Secondary School and John Farndale, son of Mr and
Mrs W Farndale, Freeborough Farm, Moorsholm, received a Pursglove
Scholarship at Guisborough Grammar School.
In
1561, Robert Pursglove set up a free school on the
site which would later come to house Prior Pursglove
College. The school existed to enable local boys to learn Latin and also served
as an Almshouse for twelve local elderly residents.
The school and almshouse was reformed in the 1880s to
become Guisborough Grammar School, which lasted until 1971 before becoming
Prior Pursglove College. Prior Pursglove
merged with South Park Sixth Form College in 1997, eventually consolidating the
provision of education on to the Guisborough campus.

last week and the chairman, Graham Sharp, welcomed 20 members and five visitors
in the meeting. The main speaker of the evening was Mr. J Farndale from NAAS
who talked about pig buildings and installations in the future. Although
the title of the lecture sounded rather technical, Mr Farndale was able, with the
help of slides, to put forward his remarks in simple terms so that non farming
members as well could understand his points of view. He mentioned that he was
still of the opinion that wet feeding was still the most economical system for
pigs. Some of the feed units which Mr Farndale showed on his slides were
elaborate and expensive, and he mentioned that the pig farmer of the future
must be prepared to spend quite large sums on his equipment. Michael Sharpe
proposed the vote of thanks and this was seconded by Chris Coningsby...
