Corston's old school

This modern private residence was the National School for the village, opened 1844. The foundation stone was laid by Mrs Simpson, the vicar's wife and witnessed by a handful of local dignitaries. A speech, composed by the Rev. Simpson and approved by the Chancellor, was read; the Hundredth Psalm was sung and the school opened up to the many children of the labouring classes.
