The Inspection notification of 1903
Where the money for the new school would come from
List of builders who tendered to build the new school
The top half of a large insurance certificate covering the new school

Building the new school in Bourton 1906/7

The documents in this file are numerous, letters, finance, invoices and even the top half of a large insurance document for the new school. All date from the period of the old school inspection of 1903, when it was determined that the Bourton school building was no longer fit for purpose and that the best solution would be the erection of a new one.

More detail is contained in the book 'Schooling at Bourton' which is available in print and online in Listing No N770.
