This lasted until 1837. £500 was raised and rooms were built [the National Schools buildings in
Newgate.]. At the same time the British Schools were founded [the Non-Conformist schools]. In

Sunday afternoon. The noise and confusion were most alarming, particularly when the shutters of several shops were
simultaneously carried away by one of the most furious gusts of wind. The woodwork on the top of the Church Steeple, south
side, was displaced, and two chimneys in the National School [RAVENSMERE] were blown down, considerably damaging the
roof. The Sunday School children were in the building at the time and were naturally much alarmed. A house in RAVENSMERE
occupied by Mr Larter, insurance agent, presented most striking evidence of the force of the gale, the entire roof having been
lifted bodily and collapsed as flat as a pancake with the ends extending several feet over the eaves. Fortunately the occupants
sustained no personal injury; but they were obliged to remove their furniture from the wrecked building..
