The mother could not read nor write—'worse luck,' as she said; her only chance of educating these children was a free-school.

And it is not unlikely that the Poet may, at some time, have been an assistant teacher in the free-school at Stratford.

He built a free-school at Ulfrunehampton in Staffordshire, etc.

I went to Tunbridge, to see a solemn exercise at the free-school there.
