A local history and genealogy page for the Parish of Wimpole.
The first Wimpole Village School dates from about 1853 when School House and the 'Wooden School' were built by Lord Hardwicke for his new settlement at New Wimpole. The 'Brick School' was built in 1876 as a Church of England registered school and this served the parish until the school building had to be demolished in 1946 (the brick structure being declared "absolutely unsafe for the children").
