Shirburn Primary School, Oxfordshire April 2021

[FunkyMuffin]

History:

In 1808 a day school was started in Shirburn supported by the Earl and Countess of Macclesfield. In 1871 this cottage had been converted into a school house and the attendance was 28 boys. In 1946 it was reorganised as a Junior and Infant School before closing in 1950.


The Explore:

The other half of the funky muffin crew was going stir crazy so a broken wrist wasn’t going to stop her on this occasion. This would be the second of four stops we would make this day and I tell you it did not disappoint. This was such a wonderful little location and a joy to explore even though we barely stayed 45min. Absolutely lovely natural decay and only one idiot who felt the need to tag.

Thank for looking

There is a Shirbourn nr Watlington I'm assuming it is that one. It's a bit isolated there.
Nice work

Why thank you kindly. I think at this stage it is too far gone with rot and water damage that it can’t be saved but it is a lovely little place nonetheless

You had me wondering about that Ferry House is in Shillingford about 15 mins away from me Shirbourn is a good half an our away from me. More like down the road a bit and a few corners but at least I know were we are now.
