What people who knew this place have said about it, in their own words. These are memories, not checked facts.

“Hi Pauline I can only tell you about Mr Bloxham, He was not the Headmaster in 1938. It was Charles Winsor, But Mr Bloxham was second to him. … I lived in Cooksey lane and we walked to school, and back.”
