Victorian school, Sevington
Image: © Roger Cornfoot Taken: 22 Jan 2007
An authentic village schoolroom, closed in 1949, but re-opened in 1991 as an educational resource. Still almost unchanged, with some of the original desks, slates, coal fires and oil lamps. Pupils have a first-hand experience of Victorian education, in costume and in role. The day is run by ‘Miss Squire’, the Sevington schoolmistress.
