  Note...... It has come to light that this is not the original school.  It was kindly pointed out (see guest book) that the school          illustrated was built around 1870. Thanks to Ken Hale for this information.

"Found your website by chance. The picture of Tacolneston School cannot be the school you refer to as it was only built in about 1870. There is a now private house some .5 miles away that was previously the school"
