I think that the school finally closed in about 1870 and the site is the site of the District Council Building in Epping. I have a complete record of the boys in the school until 1845 and there may be some more information in the library in Quaker House. During that time Benjamin Townson was a pupil and he became the first head of the Quaker School in Reading.
I do not have any knowledge of Walter Horner Brown but I wonder if there is any connection with Isaac Brown, originally a pupil at the school in Epping, he had his own school in Hitchin and then started the teacher training college for Quaker schools. His picture appears in a book called Hitchin worthies.
Best regards
Geoffrey Boys
