Hilton National Church School - Hilton, Cambridgeshire, UK - Former Schools on Waymarking.com

The excellent village website describes the old school:

'The School and Village Hall
Alice Walpole, daughter in law of Robert Walpole and sister of William Sparrow, who died in 1709, left several bequests for the "teaching at school" of "the poor children of Hilton", but her will does not say where they were to be taught. In 1856 a 'National' Church School was built to provide education for 62 children, supported by a voluntary rate of 3 pence in the pound. The school was closed in 1955 and all the schoolchildren are now bussed to schools outside the village. It is now a listed building and is used as the Village Hall. Its amenities have been much improved and it has been considerably enlarged, notably by the addition of the Britten Room, officially opened by the then Prime Minister, John Major, in 1992. It is administered by the Village Hall Management Committee, which consists of elected members and representatives of village groups and which is also responsible for the upkeep of the building.'
