Full Description

Former school. Single storey cross-wing plan red brick building in Flemish Bond, under a pitched gabled pantile roof. Brick hood moulds above the door and window openings. The doorway on the front gable elevation has been infilled. Above the doorway is a dedication stone with an inscription. There is a small flat roofed modern extension to the east of the gable elevation and a modern garage extension to the west of the building. {1} White's 1872 Trade Directory states that the National School was built in 1845, and was at the time attended by 20 pupils. {2} The school was closed in 1932 as part of Lindsey Council's educational reforms, due to the high cost and low average attendance. {3} By the mid 1940s, the building was used informally for events run in the village. {4} It is unclear when the building was converted to a private residence.
