There was yet another piece of construction to be 

 carried out, before my father could feel that his parish 

 was properly equipped. The old school building, a 

 cottage on the village green, was quite inadequate ; and 

 with the help of various friends he built, in the course 

 of 1873, the present school, half-way between the 

 Rectory and the Church, and made a good playground 

 in front of it. By the Trust Deed it became the pro- 

 perty of the Rector and Churchwardens, and has always 

 been administered as a Church of England school. Until 

 he reached extreme old age, my father was for practical 

 purposes sole manager, and after the transfer of the 

 control of education to the County Council, this work 

 became much more onerous than it had been, owing to 

 the large amount of c red tape ' involved (perhaps in- 

 evitably) in this method of administration. But the 

 school has almost always obtained creditable reports 

 from His Majesty's Inspectors, and even more so from 

 the Diocesan Inspectors in Religious Knowledge ; and 

 the Sunday School, in which my mother took so large 

 a part while she lived, has been well maintained since 

 her death by the devotion of others.
