This school building was erected in 1866 at the request of the local rector, who collected money for the purpose and he himself contributed £150; the National Society made a grant of £70. The first teachers at the school, a husband and wife, found themselves with over a hundred children. They were both still teaching in 1899, when there were 140 places and an average attendance of 110. The school was originally a Church school, but failure to raise the funds for its necessary enlargement led to the compulsory formation of a School Board in 1879, to which the Church authorities leased their school at a nominal rent. Early in the 20th century the school was again enlarged by the provision of a porch, and in 1927 a new head teacher's house was built on a fresh site in the village, the old one being occupied by the school cleaner.
This was a solo explore on a nice evening, as soon as I looked through the window of this place and saw inside I knew it was going to be a good explore. All the old furniture that now sits piled up is lovely, and the old benches were visible at the bottom. The different colours and the decay in here is beautiful. I was in here for about two hours on my own just taking in everything around me and after feeling a little bit down the last few weeks it certainly cheered me up
Thanks for looking,
