Twitchell between Lee Road and Main Street
This appears to follow the line of an old field access footpath.
A local resident provides this information:
"To many 'old' locals, this footpath is affectionately known as 'Polly's Lane'. It was originally unsurfaced and was therefore often very muddy in damp weather!"

Jonathan Labray's Endowed School
Labray was a stocking frame knitter who made good through thriftiness, ending up with considerable land and property in and around Calverton. In his will he made provision for his money to be used for the benefit of the poor. The trustees of the will set aside 10 pounds per annum to support a schoolmaster to teach poor boys of the village. The endowment started in 1718, and the school continued as a free school for boys right through to 1973. The building dates from the late 19th century, and now houses the local Scout and Guide groups.
