I live a short walk from this lovely building. This year is the 50th anniversary of Bishop Bonner's Cottage being turned into a museum 1963 - 2013. There will be a free admission day to the museum on its birthday of 11th May 2-4.30pm, you can find out more about the cottage on www.derehamhistory.com.
This is the first photograph I've seen of an early glimpse of the school, I wish I could find more and information on it.
