More about this scene

This fine chapel in Barn Street was erected in 1846 and enlarged in 1862 during the period when the town was experiencing the effects of the mining boom around Caradon just to the north. The chapel could accommodate over 1,000 worshippers, while the town also provided places of worship for the Baptists, Bible Christians, Primitive Methodists and Free Methodists.

Hi, does anyone in St Cleer have any fond memories of my late husband, Arthur Mitchell? He was raised in Rose Cottage and he is buried in the chapel in St Cleer with his late parents, Alice and Len. Arthur was driving for Darley Ford coaches when I met him in 1982. I would love to hear from anyone. Regards Sue
I'm pretty sure this was the Grammar school. Not sure when it changed into the Grammar School though. Perhaps I should have paid more attention! It expanded over the years with many temporary buildings added at various times. When I attended 1966-73 there were close on 400 pupils ranging from 11-19. One of whom decided he would burn the school down, and yet more temporary buildings were added as a result! Houses are on this land now.
