Hosey boys school and the Master's house 1930s

Education in Westerham was well catered for by the early 1900’s, there being two established National Schools by that time. Hosey school was opened in 1829, originally as a mixed school, until one specifically for girls and infants was built and opened in 1861 on the London Road next to the site of the Crown Hotel, opposite the railway station. Both are still unmistakable today as Victorian ragstone schoolhouses, with gothic-arched windows, though neither is a school any more.
