A very knowledgable guide is available to explain what is what and how schooling was carried out in the 1800s. There are also many interesting documents relating to local people and events, such as John Betjemen and Thomas Hughes.

Closed now for the rest of the year, but interesting short visit spent chatting with the well informed curator who gave me some useful tips about places to visit. This was the school where the author of Tom Brown's Schooldays was educated.
