More about this scene
The school (left) was built in 1840, and provided education for the children of Barkway and Reed. This fine building is remarkably original, and stands on the site of the old Market Square. The white building (right) was the village butcher's shop - joints of meat were hung from the trees; beyond it is the three-gabled Town House. It is said that the ornate staircase in the Town House came from Standon Lordship. The white shed on the left stands next to the village pond where the villagers skated in winter.
