St. Marys’ School
Built in 1873 as explained in the article below and much extended since. Now a very popular C of E primary school..
Barn Meadow
The area between the school and the Misbourne is called Barn Meadow. It used to belong to the Weller’s Brewery but was bought by the local Council in about 1931.
These buildings have been through many changes of use in the last 100 years as can be seen in the photos below.
