Full Description
Lea Public School was built in 1808 by public subscription and supported by W.E. Nightingale, except for a charge of 2d a week to pupils. The school was found to be too small and the site was exchanged for the present school which was opened in 1859. The original foundation stone exists. The drawing room was the original schoolroom and the fireplace surround was possibly from Riber Castle. (1)
