Now a private house, The Old School House was built in 1854. It became a National School in 1871 and closed in 1932. Constructed of brick and flint under a tile roof. The small village of Orcheston lies on Salisbury Plain about a mile northwest of Shrewton and some 6¼ miles west of Durrington. Salisbury plain has been inhabited since prehistoric times, and Orcheston is recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book. The source of the River Till is nearby. The village has two 13th century churches.
