Building History

The Old School was built in 1876.
This early picture shows village children in front of it by the pond circa 1900.

In 1936 the school was extended northwards with an upper room. In 1971 it ceased being used as a school and for a long time it laid empty and boarded up.

This diagram shows the re-constructed layout of the Village Hall and indicates how it has been extended from the original building.
