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.

BEEF. Sawston’s speaker was Mr Wiseman from BOCM who spoke on Leicestershire
beef rearing... Bassingbourn met at the village college 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...
