The westerly elevation of a former infant school that was started in the village in 1833, plus a derelict cottage. The school was supported by the local Anglican church and parents contributed a few pence per week. It moved into this purpose-built structure at Burnor Pool in 1846 and became the National School in 1852. It is a brick building with a slated hip roof with access to the first floor via an external flight of steps. John Roe, a native of Calverton and the founder of a sect known as the Roe-ites performed baptisms in a pool in his back garden, Burnor Pool. Both properties are currently for sale.
