School, Goosnargh
This school was built in 1839, and from this side at least looks to be little altered. It must be fun when there are four games of cricket going on simultaneously. (See another photo for the datestone in the gable-end to the left).

Datestone on school, Goosnargh
An example of a local boy making his fortune in London and giving something back to his village. Note the old spelling, 'expence' instead of 'expense'.

The Bushell Hospital, Goosnargh
This is similar to the photograph in SD5636, but as the grid line goes approximately through the front door the building deserves to be in this square too. The Hospital was founded by William Bushell's will, 1735. He devised almost all his estate to trustees for maintaining 'decayed gentlemen or gentlewomen or persons of the better rank of both or either sex, inhabitants of local townships, and Protestants, in a house or hospital to be provided in Goosnargh, at or near the dwelling-house of his late father.' The trust became effective ten years later when his daughter Elizabeth died. In 1824 there were thirteen persons in the hospital; each had a separate room, but they dined together. The rainwater hoppers are dated 1722, so it would seem possible that the building is the house of his father, which would explain why it looks more like a mansion than almshouses. The house was later enlarged, and the number of residents increased to 24.

The Bushell Hospital, Goosnargh
The part on the left looks to be the 19C extension. The monument is enigmatic. Perhaps there is an inscription on the other side.
