Our Client is the proud custodian of the Grade II listed property (1391742) known as the Old School in Breedon on the Hill. Used as a local school until the latter part of the 20th Century.

 

The Historic England listing details the building as "a former school of 1874 and was built for Charles Abney Hastings, widower of the Countess of Loudon, as a memorial to his wife. It is a well-designed and finely-detailed village school of the period in local stone with some elaborate carving. It remains little altered and has added historic interest as a memorial to a member of a very significant local family. It is certainly of 'definite quality and character', thus fulfilling the criteria for listing buildings of this period."

The school sits on a prominent site within the outskirts of the village just before the entrance to Breedon Quarry.
