Continuing east along Fore Street brings you to the fine setting of the Square with the 12th century Church House Inn, post-1897 (clock on church), and that must be the class from the school just up behind the pub. St. Andrews Church behind.

chi5_lh03.jpg (115964 bytes) Post-1948, because in that year there was a fire at the pub and the second chimney at front centre was removed.
