Excerpt from The Founding of Exeter School: A History of the Struggle for Freedom of Education Within the City of Exeter
The Shillingford controversy represents a chap ter in the history of the conflict between the Municipal and Ecclesiastical Authorities in the City, which continued intermittently from the time Of the removal Of the Episcopal See to Exeter to quite recent years.
The Shillingford letters take pride Of place among the municipal archives, for they throw a ?ood Of light upon a period Of history of which records are scarce. The Perryman papers, which afford the main material for the history of the founding Of the Exeter School, serve to cast a similar illumination upon the conditions of life within the City Of Exeter about a century and a half later, but still nearly three centuries removed from the present.
