A Brief History of Ashill School
The first school in Ashill was built using funds raised by
Reverend Bartholomew Edwards, and opened in 1848. In 1876 the school house and adjoining classroom were built by the National Society, and the name was changed to Ashill National School. A kitchen was added to the school in 1947, and in 1957 the school house was taken over by Norfolk Education Committee, only to be sold in 1979. The present school building was opened in 1989 by the Bishop of Lynn, The Right Reverend David Bentley.
Something about Ashill seems to encourage long service: as well as Bartholomew Edwards, Reverend Alan Walker served 28 years as Headteacher from 1972 to 2000 – a record which will be hard to beat!
