215 and 221 Main Street
The non-consecutive numbering is due to the fact that what was once a group of cottages is now converted into two dwellings. This would originally have been a group of four cottages, built as the large windows indicate for framework knitters. The end gable displays the letters MS and 1857. The letters are the initials of Matthew Shepherd, who was headmaster of the Labray Endowed School. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2559117 Listed Grade II.

Labray's School, Calverton, Notts.
The former Labray's Endowed School, Main Street, is situated obliquely opposite Little Lane. Jonathan Labray, a Nottingham stocking-frame knitter during the C17th, never forgot his humble origins and made provision in his will for some of his money to be used for the benefit of poor local boys. He had a special connection with Calverton, having owned land and property in the village and, as a result, in 1718 his trustees decided to set aside £10 p.a. from his estate to employ a schoolmaster to teach the village's boys, without charge. The Labray School continued to educate village children for 255 years until its closure in 1973. The refurbished premises are now used by Scouts and Guides.

Main Road at Jumelles Drive
This end of Main Street represents the stage of development of the village in the first half of the 20th century, before the colliery opened. Jumelles Drive is named for the twinned town in France - Longué-Jumelles.

203 and 205 Main Street
The extension is a sympathetic attempt at matching the traditional building style, doubtless resulting from the fact that this is within the Conservation Area of the village. Nevertheless, the roof pitch is much flatter than ideal, and the plastic windows appear to have an angular top rather than a true curve.

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.
