Chopper's recent visit here served as a timely reminder that I'd had this one sitting on my list for too long. So, finding myself with a day off and a bit of decent weather I hopped on the bike and ventured into darkest Sussex...

History blatantly copied from wiki

The small schoolhouse was built by local landowners and the Church of England to provide elementary education for children from the hamlet and surrounding area. Built in the style of a chapel it doubled up as the church on Sundays. The single room was divided by a curtain for infants and senior classes. At the end of the school week the chairs were turned to face the east and ink pots removed from the desks. In the 1930s services would be held there once or twice a month by the Rector of Fittleworth, with one of the local ladies playing the harmonium
