More about this scene

With Laxton's motto 'God Grant Grace' below his heraldic shield adorning the buildings, the school expanded and since the 1950s has taken over a number of the older buildings in the centre of Oundle. This building, the School Science Block, however, is on the Glapthorn Road beyond New Street and dates from 1914. It is a distinguished Jacobean styled structure complete with an onion domed cupola.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remember attending this school and have a school photograph of all pupils. I know the school is not there anymore, but cannot find any information relating to this school, does anyone know of it?
I remember we lived in Peter Street, where I first learned to ride a bike, my elder sister giving me a push at the top of the hill...stopping was the problem! Our house was on the right side going down the hill. Across the road were open fields where we would fossick for Roman pottery shards with my father. At the top of the street there was a conker tree which entertained my friends and I for hours. Our family moved to Australia and I remembered other families were emigrating too.
