HISTORIC BUILDINGS

Ex­ tensions were carried out later and over the door Is the date 1879, which presumably refers to ithe- addition of an inftints section. Many years ago there were far iriore children • in the village than: at present and at one time the stoool was. spht into three clasess with a total of nearly 100 children. Now there are only 24 children, and they,‘are divided into two qlasses. Those from three to seyen years of age form the infants section and are supervised by Mrs. Wright, of Clitheroe,, while the
