St George and St Giles Parish Schools

Inscription

Site: St George and St Giles Parish Schools (1 memorial)

On the floor above, directly above the plaque, is a statue of a lady struggling to preserve her modesty - probably not the statue that was there when the building was a school.

The Listing does not comment on the statue but gives the architect as Joseph Peacock.
