Cleadon Grange, property associated with North Farm, both formed in the early 19th century and laying to the north of the main village. The farm is arranged around a central courtyard with the main farmhouse, the Grange, forming the southern side of the complex. In the late 19th century it was the home of George Pollard and his family. George laid the foundation stone for the new village school in 1902, and he and his wife erected three stain glass windows in the church to commemorate the safe return of their son (Major George Pollard) from WWI.

The Cleadon Parochial School was founded in 1830 and was located on the south side of the pond where All Saints Hall currently stands. Pupils at the school ranged in age from 5-13 and were all educated together. The building was also sometimes used for church services before the construction of the church in 1865. When the new school was built in 1903 the old school became a dining room and library. It served as a mess hall during WWI before being demolished in 1938.
