Blue plaque for former Reedham Orphanage

The plaque, behind protective glazing, on the old lodge Image refers to an orphanage (originally the "Asylum for Fatherless Children") that stood "on this hillside" from 1856 to 1979. The site is now a primary school. Its founder was Andrew Reed: is that where the village got its name?
