Summary edit

Description
English: South Wilford Endowed CE VA Primary School The 'To Let' sign is slightly misleading; it refers to this building only, not to the school as a whole. However, a building dating from 1736 is hardly suited to modern educational needs.

The tablet above the middle window reads as follows:

This School was Erected 1736 pursuant to the will of the Revd MR CARTER late Rector of this Parish who left £200 for that purpose & £50 p annum Salary for the Schoolmaster to be chosen by the Rector for the time being & £5 p annum to buy Books & other Necessarys for the School & £5 p annum to put a Scholar out Apprentice & £5 yearly to ye Poor of this Town & £400 to purchase Land for ye Augmentation of ye aforesaid Charitys . He built ye Parsonage - House Barn Stable & Dove coat. He gave a set of Communion Plate & Beautified the Chancel in his lifetime & left a sum to beautify ye Church answerable to the Chancel & bequeathed many other considerable Charitys. He died ye 23d of December 1732 and lies buried in ye Chancel. W.Tilly Sculpsit
