House and schoolroom
Image: © Bob Harvey Taken: 20 Dec 2020
The small building with a bell cloche is the former schoolroom from the mid 19th century. The adjacent house is the School House. The gable carries the date 1851, which predates by 20 years the Eleemntary eduction act of 1870 - so this is a "voluntary" rather than a "board" school. It will have been funded by the Earl Brownlow and the wealthy villagers for the benefit of the local community. See also https://heritage-explorer.lincolnshire.gov.uk/Monument/MLI97431
