In 1960 St Matthews CE School, was opened in Manor Lane. Children came from all the surrounding villages. The school was extended in 1975. Sadly, it was closed in 1985 and is now the Village Hall. Manor Close is built on the old school playing fields, which extended behind the bungalows in Manor Lane and across to Vectis House, as seen below on the sports day photo. I hope you enjoy the photos – how many students and teachers do you remember or recognise?
