Full Description
The old parish school was in use from at least 1693, when documents talk of the roof falling in, and its rethatching in 1696. The school closed in 1896 and was sold at public auction for £260 around the turn of the century. It was a carpenter's workshop, and then divided into three dwelling houses around 1950.
