St Mary's Church Hall

Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 11 Nov 2011

Built in 1862 as the first purpose-built school in the village by the Parish Church, as a 'National' School. In 1874 a non-denominational 'Board School' was opened, funded by the local non-conformist churches, despite opposition from the Parish Church. It closed as a school shortly after and became the Parochial Church Hall. The inscribed stone banner over the entrance testifies to its original purpose http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2695963.
