‘ALLENSMORE HISTORY MATTERS’ – NEXT SESSION

27th SEPT. 2019, 7.00-9.00 p.m., IN PATESHALL HALL

‘Allensmore History Matters’: Following the very successful get-together in July to talk about Allensmore Village School, we will be having a follow-up session on Friday 27th September 2019, from 7.00 – 9.00 p.m. in Pateshall Hall (on the A465). There will be an entrance charge of £3 to cover room hire, refreshments and any other expenses.

This meeting will be a talk about ‘Education in Allensmore 1824-1957’ and will include newly found material on:-

  • 19th century schooling in the village
  • Documents from the National Archives in Kew – kept under wraps for 50 years – until being opened for research purposes
  • What happened when the school closed in 1957 up to it becoming the village hall in 1960

We look forward to welcoming you on 27th September, to find out about the story of education in Allensmore. As before, we would be particularly delighted to see any past pupils of the village school. If you have any old photographs of the school or of Allensmore generally, please bring them along or give Yvonne Chapman a ring on 01432 806 414
