The use of monitors to assist in the teaching of large numbers of children developed at the end of the 18th century. At about the same time the teaching of children in Sunday schools commenced and rapidly became extremely widespread. The returns of the [[1851 Census Places of Worship|1851 Religious Census]] showed that by then some two-thirds of all children were attending Sunday schools to learn the basics of reading and writing as well as of religion. | The use of monitors to assist in the teaching of large numbers of children developed at the end of the 18th century.

By the end of the 19th century over six million children received some education in this way, but, again, practically no records survive. There are a few exceptions, as the enormous registers (now at [http://www.stockport.gov.uk/services/leisureculture/libraries/?view=Standard Stockport Central Library]) kept by the former Sunday School at Stockport testify. Stockport Sunday School catered for 3,000 children. The un-indexed registers 1789-1920 show names and ages (Registers for the Stockport Sunday School, Cheshire, 1790-1877). <ref>{{FHL|534993|title-id|disp=" | By the end of the 19th century over six million children received some education in this way, but, again, practically no records survive.
