Full Description

Former school building. Large three bay, two storey building constructed of buff brick in Stretcher Bond, under a pitched gabled roof of slate with two large brick gable stacks. Windows are modern uPVC casements. Walled yard to the rear with detached outbuilding forming the fourth wall. Outbuilding is a long buff brick structure, under a pitched gabled roof of slate. {1} White's 1856 Trade Directory of Lincolnshire makes no reference to the school in the village. The 1872 Directory states that the building was constructed in 1868 at the cost of £150, paid for by the clergy and farmers of Croxby, Swinhope and Thorganby. {2}{3} It is present in its current plan form on both the 1887 and the 1907 Ordnance Survey maps of the village. {4}{5} Documentation from the Lincolnshire Archives states that the school was built in 1868. It was known as Thorganby National School by 1903 and as Thorganby CE School by 1908. The school was closed on 25 March 1959, with the children transferred to East Ravendale CE School. {6}
