History |
| 1848 | St Stephen's school was built in red brick in the style of Manwood's Hospital opposite. A bell was hung in an open gable over the main door, hung for swing chiming with an iron headstock and lever. The inscription appears to be a date, but not easily made out. The bell appears to be a Whitechapel bell, which if dates from the building of the school, makes it a Charles & George Mears bell. This is all very uncertain though. |
