Place & story
Two stages in a school building
At Church Hill in Grange, the architectural inventory dates the former national school to 1833 and records an extension in 1913. Its assessment describes that later work as almost a complete reconstruction. The recorded building has a T-shaped layout, a projecting central section and a lower entrance porch, with roughcast walls and slate roofs. The survey recorded the school as disused when it was inspected in 2005. [2]
