The Church School & Wilderspin Story
Join one of our monthly guided tours to find out why Historic England has described our building as “one of the most important schools in England“. You’ll see the unique Model School designed by Samuel Wilderspin and we’ll explain how his Infant System worked, compare it to a traditional Victorian classroom for older children, then move on to the later story of the School which will undoubtedly trigger memories of your own schooldays.
One-hour tours. Start at 11am and 1.30pm. £5pp includes an Annual Ticket allowing free return visits for twelve months and tea & coffee following the tour. Unsuitable for very young children. There’s plenty of seating as you move through the building.
Booking essential – tel. (01652) 635172 or email wilderspinschoolmuseum@gmail.com
Forthcoming tour dates: Sunday 11 August, Sunday 15 September
