Lynsted & Norton Primary School

The village school is an attractive complex of buildings dating from 1878 on land donated by Aymers Vallance for the purpose.  A short project by the school children in support of a community project identified their favourite features as the boot scraper, the bell (housed in a light wooden structure) and the cast iron lamp post that was dedicated to Belle Friday, once a Chairman of the School Governors.

These two photographs show how the school looked in 1906 and today.  Elsewhere on this site we have reproduced a poster for a “Grand Concert” held at the Lynsted Board Schools in 1888. There has been some discussion too.
