Scorton School, in Bolton upon Swale, was established by the will of Leonard Robinson (March 1720 [/21?]), following the death of his widow (who was still alive in 1723). The school was to instruct all such boys as should be sent in the Latin or Greek tongues. G. Lawton, Collections relative to the Church and Chapels within the Diocese of York (1842), 563; L.A.S.
