Humphry Walwyn library
The library stands behind the clock tower which was erected by Tom Pedlingham in memory of his wife Alice.
Humphry Walwyn, benefactor to Colwall, was a member of the Worshipful Company of Grocers in London. In 1614 he left a legacy to fund a free grammar school in the village. The school has survived though it is now known as the Elms School, an independent prep school.

Revelopment at Colwall
Photographing this building site I naturally assumed it was developing greenbelt land, a look on Google Streetview and I discover this development is replacing housing probably dating from around the 1970s.

GWR bench near the entrance to Humphrey Walwyn Library, Colwall
Three white GWR monograms are on the base of the bench. The GWR (Great Western Railway) ceased to exist as a company when the railways were nationalised at the start of 1948. It became the Western Region of the new British Railways. The name was revived in 2015 when train operator First Great Western rebranded itself Great Western Railway.
