Summary

The 19th century witnessed a revolution in Britain's schools, as compulsory mass education was rolled out, and thousands more children learnt how to read and write.

These are among the questions that Spencer Mizen put to historian Rosalind Crone for our latest 'everything you wanted to know' episode on Victorian schools. Rosalind Crone answers your questions on the history of British prisons, here: https://link.chtbl.com/wP5obFg1. The HistoryExtra podcast is produced by the team behind BBC History Magazine.
