Statement of Interest

Only the 1850, original block of the school is included in the current listing. Barclay documents the parochial school's departure from premises in Cornhill as 1860, which is inconsistent with the 1850 date plaque on the building. The new building was probably financed by

Mr Gordon of Park.
