Church, Schools, and Vicarage of St. Just, Penwith, [Cornwall], 1850. View of '...the Church and National School at St. Just, the latter of which Mr. Gorham has tried in vain to make useful...The National School-room was built by parochial subscriptions, and a National Society grant...The School, however, was not supported, and for eighteen years was without a master. The building having become very greatly dilapidated, the present Vicar, the Rev. G. C. Gorham, exerted himself strenuously to procure its repair and enlargement; in fact, under great discouragement, it was all but rebuilt, and a very commodious master's house was erected, at the expense of about £400, in 1847...'. The 'Gorham Case' involved British vicar George Cornelius Gorham whose views on baptism were seen by church authorities as being at odds with Anglican doctrine. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
