Description
Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition of 1890. Opened in 1855 in former farm buildings of Glebe Farm. The school was founded by the National Society for Promoting Religious Education. It was a merger of two schools - George Wheeler's Charity School which had been housed in the rectory gatehouse since 1719 and the National and Barrington School behind Newbottle Street, founded in 1833. St. Michael's School closed in 1947 just before the council purchased the rectory and grounds. The buildings were demolished - a small L shaped building survived until the early 1970s when it was demolished to lay out a rose garden.
