The Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum is within a former charity school, founded in 1704 by landowner Michael Postgate. James Cook received his early education here from 1736 to 1740.
Great Ayton, the boy hood home of Captain James Cook, is today a much different village to that in which James lived as a young boy in the early 18th century. It has changed over the years from a farming centre to an industrialised area and now welcomes visitors to enjoy a beautiful village and Cook heritage trail.
Postgate might very well have later founded a school to teach good Anglican principles and perhaps try to halt the pernicious influence of ‘Dissent’ from spreading. Professor John Postgate FRS has traced his family tree back to the Postgate who founded the school.
