Sevington Victorian School, Historical school building in Grittleton, United Kingdom
The school features Neo-Gothic design elements with a distinct bell tower, a main schoolroom, and living quarters containing a parlor and two bedrooms.
Joseph Neeld commissioned the construction of Sevington Victorian School in 1848 to educate children of his estate workers, with Elizabeth Squire serving as headmistress until 1913.
The curriculum focused on reading, writing, arithmetic, and religious education, preparing students for roles in farming and domestic service on the Neeld estates.
The preserved schoolroom maintains its original furnishings, including the teacher's desk, blackboard, and distinctive edge-grain wood-block floor from the Victorian period.
After the school closed in 1913, the classroom remained untouched, creating an authentic time capsule that now serves as an educational center for modern students.
