Bunny, Rancliffe Arms and Old School House
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 30 Mar 2008
Both the Inn and the School House were built by the Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall who lived from 1662 to 1741. There is evidence that he was personally responsible for the designs. The School House carries a number of interesting inscriptions, some of which are illustrated in this http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2644643. As well as the schoolroom, the building includes 4 rooms for elderly widows on the ground floor. Pevsner compares this critically with the fact the schoolmaster enjoyed the whole of the first floor!
