Frank Lines

Note to go beside photograph 37 which shows Frank, at the end of the second row of children from the back, wearing his medal. As Frank is about 10 in this photograph and he was born in 1883, the photograph must be of the school in about 1893. Miss Alice Aldridge is at the back of the photograph and she became head in 1890.

St John's School Lemsford 1872 -2022

Lemsford Local History group have decided to dedicate 2022 to working with St John’s School to celebrate the school’s 150-year anniversary. This website is also dedicated to this special year. On the 4th of March 1872, the first entry in the Head Teacher’s Log Book was made by Mrs Mary Seaman, first Head Teacher. On that day, seventy-seven children, ranging in age from three to thirteen, were enrolled. They were divided into two classes - one being taken by Mrs Seaman and the other by her husband Walter, her assistant. They were all taught in one room, the room now used as the dining room in the oldest part of the school. The school was approved by the Government on the 16th of May 1872. We hope the school, local community, and anyone with an interest in St Johns school will Contribute Articles, memories, and images to this Website. Email info@lemsfordhistory.co.uk
