Clench Common School

At Clench Common a ‘good little school-room’ had been erected in 1855 with a boarded floor and wall desks. In 1858 between 20 and 30 girls and boys were taught by an ‘intelligent untrained mistress’ and the children were described as ‘clean, bright and orderly’. There is no other mention of this school near Compton’s Farm in a fairly isolated area and any later use may have been as a Sunday School.
