More notes on the Royal Military Asylum

Extracts taken from "The Graphic" dated May 26, 1888
as transcribed by Bev Edmonds

The warrant appointing the Commissioners for the management of the institution
is dated June 24th, 1801 The total original cost of the ground and building
was no more than £104,187; the value of the ground is probably now at least
ten times as great as it was at the beginning of the century. Not without some
difficulties and disputes was the building erected; for the builders presented
a bill far in excess of the original estimates-- as builders often do. A
committee was appointed by the Commissioners to inquire into the causes of the
increase, and ultimately everything was satisfactorily explained.

At first, the institution was intended both for boys and girls, and both were
admitted freely; but it is long since the Asylum has been reserved for boys
only. As stated in the original regulations, the institution was intended for,
"1st", Orphans. 2nd, those whose fathers have been killed on foreign service.
3rd. those who have lost their mothers, and whose fathers are absent on duty
abroad; and 4th, those whose fathers are ordered on foreign service, or whose
parents have other children to maintain. These regulations have since been
extended to admit the children of pensioners of long service and good conduct.
Children, according to the original regulations were admitted at " the
earliest age for nurture, and into the Asylum from four years till twelve
years, being discharged at fourteen years.
Those who enter after eleven have to pass an examination in arithmetic and
dictation. The total number of boys who can at present be admitted is 484, a
great many less than the 1,000 which the original Commissioners proposed to
lodge in the same building. This decrease in the original estimate is, no
doubt, dictated by modern sanitary regulations; for it is said that in the
early days of the institution two boys used to sleep in each bed.
Part of the south wing of the Royal Military Asylum contained up till quite
recently the Normal School for training army school-masters. In December last
year, however, this institution was abolished, and further accommodation is
thus set free for the use of the Duke of York's School. The additional rooms
will accommodate sixty-six more boys and it is hoped that the establishment
will thus shortly be raised to 550.
There are always plenty of applicants for admission to the Royal Military
Asylum, and as vacancies occur the boys are admitted according to the urgency
of their respective cases. Orphans are taken first; then those who have lost
their fathers. next, those who have lost their mothers, and so on. as the
Royal Military Asylum is intended primarily as a school to train boys for the
army, a medical certificate is demanded with each applicant, and no boy is
admitted unless it is testified by a surgeon that he " is free from any mental
or bodily infirmity, not ruptured, and is likely to become fit for the Army.
It is not, however, compulsory upon boys of the Duke of York's School to enter
the Army. When applying for admission of a boy, the parent or guardian "
agrees that the said boy shall remain in the Asylum as long as the
Commissioners thereof shall think see fit, within the prescribed limit of age;
and that when of proper age he shall be placed, with his own free consent, as
a private soldier in the Regular Army, or shall be provided for at the
discretion of the Commissioners as an apprentice or servant."  It is thus
optional for any boy, when he reaches the age of fourteen, to become either a
soldier or a civilian, but at least eighty percent of the boys elect to enter
the Army.

Notes for Arthur WEATHERHEAD


Arthur Weatherhead was a witness at the marriage of Henry Weatherhead and Mary
Ann Chaplin in 1864.

It is assumed that he was the brother of Henry.

BMD reference only guessed as the family originated in St Marylebone, right
name, right age, right place.
