Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Near Whitton Church Photo taken from Main Street, to left Station Road to the right Church Hill. The central building is the former National School "The present stone and brick structure was built as a National School in 1864 with a single schoolroom, cloakroom/porch and coalhouse, at the expense of Lady Strickland (née Mary Constable who had also built Alkborough Infant School ). It became a Public Elementary School in 1893 and a Council School on 11 Oct 1930. It closed 17 March 1943.
Elizabeth Wade (1795-1848) was referred to as the 'school mistress' at her funeral and Ann Powell, is also listed earlier than the 1864 school building opening, (see 1858) but they may have had to use their own homes in which to teach. The new school was built on a piece of land of almost an acre and has a plantation to its north, formerly used as a shady play area and as an outdoor classroom on hot summer days . There is a small triangular piece of ground to the south, formerly hedged, which was used as a playground as well." (Whitton Village Website" |
