Once considered for classroom use, the building’s outdated layout made it unfit for today’s teaching needs. With eerie legends, ghostly sightings, and even a “Most Haunted” crew fleeing the premises, the site’s spooky reputation is real. Despite conservation concerns about its impact on the town center, planners approved the project, prioritizing preservation and functionality. The Lionheart Educational Trust is thrilled to breathe new life into this historic landmark—honoring its past while building a practical future for staff and the community.
