Full Description
October 2011. Norfolk Rural Schools Survey.
Built in 1844 by T.T.D. Gurdon, this originally had two classrooms, a main one for pupils, and the smaller one for infants. In 1925 the school had the capacity to teach 114 pupils, but by 1947 there were only 36 children in attendance and the school was scheduled to close in 1958-1959, although it stayed open until finally closing in 1983. The building is now a private residence.
D. Holburn (HES), 21 March 2012.
