Week St.
Mary County Primary School -:- Telephone Week St. Mary 370
The school was built in 1876 and closed in
1973. The school had 2 classrooms and one of the most memorable
teachers was Miss Retallack, in charge of the juniors. In all
weathers we had to venture outdoors for the toilets and those
not lucky enough to go home for dinner had to walk in a column
down to the Temperance Hotel and back again. |

This plot of land complete
with cottage and garden was part of lot No.9 of the Manor of
Woolstone auctioned on the 21st of October 1875. Lot 9 also
consisted of Glebe Meadow, Bridge Meadow, Great Bridge Meadow
and one other unnamed meadow.
Reference 417a part of lot 9 listed in the
sale details consisted of the following:
Cottage and Garden, agreed to be let to
the Week St. Mary Board School, for Ninety Nine Years from
Lady-day 1875, at the rent of 1s per Annum - 0A. 0R. 22P [0A.
0R. 22P = Acres, Roods, Poles (or Perches)]
Land Tax Paid by Tenants 2s 1¼d per Annum.
Lady Day is generally the 15th of August
but Week St Mary revel is linked to the alternative date for
Lady Day the 8th of September. Whoever bought Lot No.9 in 1875
bought this plot with a current 99 year lease and accepted a
rent of 1s per year until 1974 when the lease would have run
out. Did the Board School buy Lot 9? Or was it bought at a later
date from the new owner by the Board School or later by the
Education Authority?
Was one of the reasons the school closed
in the 1970’s because the education authority didn’t own the
school? If no other contracts had been arranged during the
previous 99 years; the control of the property would have
reverted back to the land owners who had purchased Lot No9!
(Our thanks to Bob Booker for the
above contribution)
