There were 12 Pennies in a Shilling, and 20 Shillings in a Pound. A shilling at time of decimalisation was worth 5p
these were schools which where set up by governors and governesses they had about 60 children in the whole school and they were all in the same room . They cot 1p per week
They did not stop using Shillings in Victorian times. The British have used the Shilling since about 1550 until the introduction of decimal currency in 1971. I visited the UK for the first time in late 1971, during the transition, and shopkeepers and restaurants were struggling with "new pence" vs. shillings.
