- Long ago there were many hedge schools in this locality.
There was one in Brickens taught by Mr Henery. The children had to go to an old barn to be taught.
They used only one book and that was a spelling book. It used to be a block of wood the children had to sit on and a stool the teacher had to sit on.
They sued to make them do reading, writing spelling and sums.
