Full Description
Edenham Primary School is Tudor in style, and was built in 1873 of limestone ashlar with a Collyweston slate roof. A single external chimney stack with a tall ashlar shaft is to the rear. The building is single storey, with a chamfered plinth with pierced stone vents. Over the right hand gable is a stone panel bearing the date, 1873, and the wreathed "W" for Willoughby with a coronet. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1}
The gable showing the stone date panel was photographed in November 2000, during a visit to assess the potential impact of proposed alterations to the building. {2}
White's 1856 Trade Directory states that there were two schools in the village, one each for boys and girls. The girls' school was attended by 40 pupils. By 1872 the two appear to have been combined into a National School. It is unclear if that school was on the site of the current building. {3}{4}
