This track is off Church Way and runs long the eastern side of the former location of Miss Sarah Nowell's School, now a private residence. In her Will Miss Nowell left funding and instructions for the creation of a trust that would bear her name and that would provide for the education of eight poor girls and two poor boys from the village. It was actually The Alice Smith Charity who established the school in 1805 in the schoolmistress's own home until this purpose-built school was opened in 1822. The Church and Parish Hall lie a few paces to the right and the commercial centre of the village, i.e. two pubs and a community-run shop, are the 2-3 minutes walk to the left.
