-:In the 18th and 19th century many of the children in Macclesfield would have been working in the silk mills from the age of 6 years, and Sunday School would have been their only chance for education.  It provided the main opportunity for children to learn reading and writing, as well as scripture.  The Large Sunday School was established by John Whitaker, a local Alderman and Magistrate.  His aim was to teach religious knowledge and learning to the ‘lower classes of society’; ‘to lessen the sum of human wretchedness’.
