The Dame School, Raisbeck

The Dame School, Raisbeck in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Eden District of Cumbria.
This dame school was built in 1780 by the yeomen farmers of Raisbeck. Dame schools were typically run by a woman who provided a very basic education for young children for a small fee. Many schools were run in the woman's own home, but this was not the case at Raisbeck. This tiny one up, one down building is now open to the public and contains interpretation panels. Free admission.
