Monkton Farleigh school
The village has a history of education, beginning with a number of small and separate schoolrooms in the late 1800s. A National School was founded in the 1870s, which in turn added a new school in 1886. Pupil numbers were good until the late twentieth century; things did not improve thereafter so the school merged with the one at Atworth, now being known as Churchfields on both.

An AED and a police letterbox
On the wall of the village hall are, almost invariably, a defibrillator and, less expectedly, a letterbox with a Wiltshire Police logo on it.

Turning our back on the crossroads this pleasant scene is just a few yards away. The sign for the Post Office can be seen and St.Peters Church is about 200 yards on to the right.

A message of support in these strange times
The Covid-19 lockdown of 2020 brought a radically different way of life to the country. During the health crisis, many thoughts were focussed on those who were engaging in the fight on the hospital wards. But more people were part of that unflinching service and the postal workers are not forgotten!
'To our wonderful posties, thank you for keeping us connected.'

There are people who are concerned about the survival of village stores and post offices, not just the owners either. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2505465.html
