St James, Eastbury: Sunday School altar I'm never sure if I should honour Robert Raikes or abjure him. Memories of a vinegary spinster telling the five year old me to sit still for what seemed an eternity while she read a Bible story in a monotonous drone are trumped by happy teenage mornings playing football with an amiable hippy, who also organised trips to the swimming pool and theatre. For all this we have to thank Robert Raikes, the evangelical editor of the Gloucester Journal. In 1780 he and a clergyman friend began the first Sunday School. It was to be aimed at all children, not just those of churchgoers. Three years later Raikes published an account of this Sunday School in the columns of his publication. From there it gained publicity through The Gentlemen’s Magazine; but it was the nascent Times newspaper, founded in 1785, that really drove the movement.
