White's 1872 Trade Directory notes that the village had a neat school, erected in 1863 at cost of £200, which was supported by lady of the manor. {2}
The building can be seen on the 1905 OS map of Honington. Only the single storey extension to the east appears to post-date this. {3}
The school was closed at some point in the 20th century, and is now in use as a children's nursery.
