Macclesfield Sunday School
Macclesfield Sunday School, Heritage education center in Macclesfield, England
The brick building features large windows, an auditorium with raked seating, and multiple classrooms spread across multiple floors for educational purposes.
Founded in 1796 by John Whitaker, the school initially provided education to 40 children and grew to accommodate over 2,400 students by its opening in 1814.
The museum displays a Victorian School Room that demonstrates educational practices from the nineteenth century, including original teaching materials and classroom arrangements.
The heritage center opens from Wednesday to Saturday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, and on Sundays from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM.
The building maintained its educational purpose for 177 years until 1973, when it transformed into a museum preserving the history of learning in Cheshire.
