History
The Welsh School in Ashford, Middlesex, England started as the British Charity School in London, where it was established in 1718 by the Society of Ancient Britons. The institution was supported by voluntary contributions. It moved to Ashford in 1857. In 1882, it became a single-sex school, renamed the Welsh Girls School. It is now named St David's School. The school accumulated some papers of related organisations, including the Society of Ancient Britons, the Cymmrodorion, the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (an educational publisher) and correspondence with Llandaff Bishopric Committee concerning the appointment of a Welsh Bishop in 1849.
