Robert Meeke

The grave marker of Robert Meeke, the Clergyman at St James church in Slawit from 1689-1704. At his death he left money to provide education at the Slaithwaite Free School. The Huddersfield1 website www.huddersfield1.co.uk/huddersfield/huddstrivia1.htm tells us the school was founded in 1719 and was opened in 1721. This was made possible by an endowment (original value £4 per annum) from the Rev. Robert Meeke which provided for the free instruction in reading, writing and arithmetic of 10 scholars, two to be chosen from Golcar, two from Linthwaite, two from Lingards and four from Slaithwaite.
