Full Description
Lockyear's School was founded by Richard Lockyer in 1706. The Report of the Charity Commissioner states that the schoolroom was rebuilt circa 1824 but the work seems to have consisted of enlargement and remodelling, to form part of Corfe Mullen school now on the site, rather than rebuilding. The old part of the schoolhouse was remodelled around 1824 to harmonise with the Gothic style of the enlargement. <2>
