| Full description | Village School, Sea Road, East Preston. View of the school building and a group of boys with a horse and cart walking along the road. This building started as a Sunday School in 1840 with the money provided by George Olliver. This money was part of the reward he received for reporting one of his farm labourers for setting fire to a haydrick. The labourer, Edmund Bushby, burned the rick in protest against farm machinery replacing manual labour. Bushby was subsequently hanged. Gradually over the years the building was extended and remained a church school until it was handed over to the County Council in 1940. This building remained as the village school until 1951 when the new school in Lashmar Road was opened. It is now Cooper Adams Estate Agent. Young Ones Project. |
