More about this scene

The building on the right jutting into Windy Street is John Brabin's school. He was a great benefactor; his home was on Chipping's main street at what is now the post office. Brabin, who died in 1683, was a dealer in cloth, and he made a fortune dyeing cloth with splendid hues. The old school is now a youth club. John Brabin left money to build a school and pay for books and schoolmaster.
