- Description
- A cricket pavilion, built in brick with the commemoration on the front elevation, above the main entrance door and beneath a clock. Originally, there were two bronze plaques placed inside the pavilion with both the WW1 and WW2 names of the fallen. However, these were later moved to the main School Building and replaced by two wooden memorial boards, each with triangular heads in which is the school coat of arms above the names in two columns, both wall mounted in the main school building. IWM 100148 is the WW2 board.
