South Wilford Endowed CE VA Primary School
The 'To Let' sign is slightly misleading; it refers to this building only, not to the school as a whole. However, a building dating from 1736 is hardly suited to modern educational needs. The tablet above the middle window reads as follows: This School was Erected 1736 pursuant to the will of the Revd MR CARTER late Rector of this Parish who left £200 for that purpose & £50 p annum Salary for the Schoolmaster to be chosen by the Rector for the time being & £5 p annum to buy Books & other Necessarys for the School & £5 p annum to put a Scholar out Apprentice & £5 yearly to ye Poor of this Town & £400 to purchase Land for ye Augmentation of ye aforesaid Charitys . He built ye Parsonage - House Barn Stable & Dove coat. He gave a set of Communion Plate & Beautified the Chancel in his lifetime & left a sum to beautify ye Church answerable to the Chancel & bequeathed many other considerable Charitys. He died ye 23d of December 1732 and lies buried in ye Chancel. W.Tilly Sculpsit Clearly the Rector was a wealthy man for those days. Also of interest in the text of the tablet is the mixed use of p(er) annum and yearly, and also of ye and the.

Nottingham - NG11 (Wilford Village)
The Dorothy Boot Homes are situated at the junction of Main Road and Grange Close. The site is crescent shaped and consists of eleven homes. The complex was funded by Sir Jesse Boot in 1908 for veterans of the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny, and their wives and it was named after his daughter. The properties, built by Clavert and Gleave, were rent free and heated by an early central heating system. In addition, each house had a bath and a garden and the inmates were provided with free medical attention. A large clubroom was also provided for the benefit of any veterans living in Nottingham, as was a library. As-and-when the veterans passed away, the arrangement was that houses would be used by other aged and deserving persons. The properties are currently occupied and appear to be in private ownership these days.

Nottingham - NG11 (Wilford Village)
A newer and an older property standing side by side on Main Road just before Manor House Close branches off to the left in front of the distant village green. The older property - a shop prior to 2008 - is evidently being upgraded or converted.

Nottingham - NG11 (Wilford Village)
An elderly, defunct garage at No.89a, Main Road. The matching decorated rendering of the house behind it (No.89) seems to suggest dual ownership ?

Dorothy Boot Homes, Wilford
The Dorothy Boot Homes in Wilford were built in the early 20th century for army veterans. The attractive semi-circle of houses fronts a private green. The houses are now derelict and abandoned, but there are plans to refurbish them (although I suspect modern-day veterans won't be able to afford them).

Not so busy bee
The railings along the top of this wall have a bee in each section. It is a recent construction to raise the level of protection against high water on the River Trent.
