The day the Village School was purchased….
Following the closure of Ashreigney School, on the 4th June 1973, the Parishioners managed to purchase the School and the School House for the sum of £8000.
They took out loans to pay the Diocese, money they then had to raise in order to repay those loans. Events were held, ewes and their lambs were sold and eventually the loan was repaid. Just over a year later, the School officially became the Village Hall.
