Full Description

July 2010. Norfolk Rural Schools Survey.
Constructed in 1878, this brick and pantile building was extended in 1898 and again in 1911, however, these additions were very small and the overall plan of the building is little altered from the original 1870s plans. It is unknown when it closed but it is believed to be during the 1970s. The building is currently in use as a village hall.
