The embellished Eagle House, on the right, and the sombre classroom block on the left. Eagle House was built about 1705 as a private house, but from 1821 it has been some form of school or other nearly continuously, currently one catering for autistic children. The industrial school was a large establishment with several buildings, that on the left seems to be the only other survivor. It seems to be used for some purpose which is not obvious.
