In the 17th century, one of the ways of attracting a master for the endowed
grammar school in our parish was the carrot of studying with the curate of
the church nearby (the church was in fact a chapel of ease under the care of
a curate) with a view to taking holy orders. As far as can be told, none of
the masters had a degree of any sort.
