The Old Red Sandstone, Marl and river alluvium form a new front for the stream flow on the Yeo River, Congresbury, this being the older river side and with a recessed slip to the west; the new river levee protecting the bungalows, to the south and behind, on this south bank opposite the geese and farm. The sediment has slipped into and surged forward below the water, the persistent flow and wet aiding slide of the particles, but it is likely there is a deeper slip plane carrying this feature forward as the mound of soil is well into the stream and of a convex form, rather than a cut back erosion from the streamflow.

This OS cut mark can be found on the front of the school. It marks a point 6.334m above mean sea level.

Congresbury has a long history of the church and education. When St Andrew's church was consecrated in the thirteenth century it offered a number of uses for the community and a school was kept there. The Court House was used as a village school until a new building was created in 1871 - the one seen here. It served the village into the 1970s when the church land to the rear was used for the current schools. These days the old school is used for a variety of purposes, such as local council meetings, clubs and help groups. On this corner of the old school is a benchmark - see Image

This cutmark on the old school rooms on Station Road dates back to the later twentieth century. See http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm53616 for the entry in the Benchmark Database and Image] for a wider view.

The building can be booked either as a whole venue or as individual rooms.
