Great Parndon School, Harlow

Guided tours of the external building and some of the interior will take place along with an exhibition to show how the school evolved from the first small hall built in 1857, through to its latest transformation into a family home. This will show how the school grew until it reverted to church ownership in 1963 when it ceased to be a school and became a church hall and community building, before finally becoming the family home that it is today.
Hear the stories of some of the teachers and pupils who attended the school over the years.
