Description:Papers relating to the development of Hanford School include a printed copy of the 'National Society's Union Clause'. This document, featured above, tells us about the principles behind the establishment of the National School in Hanford in the late 1860s.

The school was governed by 'the Incorporated National Society' which promoted 'the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church throughout England and Wales'. The document reflects the Leveson-Gower family's involvement in initiatives to provide educational facilities for poorer Hanford residents.
