Latest Green Plaque History is Published
Further to the unveiling in May of the Clapham Society’s fifth green plaque on the building that was the former Parochial School, we have now published a short history of this interesting building.
We have included pictures of early plans and drawings as well as the modern conversion and how it looks today.
Historic School
The origins of the school can be traced as far back as 1648 and its foundation may have been earlier. You can read the full article about the Clapham Parochial School by clicking here.
The Green Plaque Scheme was initiated by the Clapham Society in 2011 to commemorate interesting buildings in Clapham and this, the Society’s fifth plaque, was unveiled on 23 May 2014 on the former Parochial School at 35 Macaulay Road, by its owner – Frederique van der Vorm – who generously donated the plaque.
The Clapham Society’s activities and schemes are entirely funded by membership fees, donations and the volunteered time of its members.
