More about this scene
The first part to be opened, in 1861, was that on the right, and the rest was added in the 1870s and 1882. Later all the decorative work - finials, dormers, chimneys and belfry - was removed, leaving a much plainer facade, but the school survived until 1990, afterwards being adapted as Chequer Mead Arts Centre. Here some school children - including girls in pinafores (then the normal garb) - pose on the playing field.
