Christ Church and Wash Lane Schoolroom

Image: © Sue Adair Taken: 8 Jun 2008

Wash Lane Schoolroom was built in 1844 by Thomas Greenall as a much needed infants’ school in this rural area. In 1872 it was extended and its status changed to a Mixed School, having the services of both a master and a school-mistress and around this time the school had to be closed many times due to flooding from the river in Wash Lane. It continued to be used as a school until 31st March 1913 and since then Christ Church has used the building for various parish activities.
