As in all Parishes the Village School plays a
major part in the everyday life. South Petherwin School is now situated at a
new site, but here you will find some pictures of the Old school and of some
of its Pupils down the years. Please be patient, as some of the pictures are
quite old and therefore do not reproduce very well. Click on the thumbnails
to view the Full pictures. Whilst great care has been taken in
attributing names to the faces in the Photographs, there may have been some
mistakenly identified, also some still remain unidentified. If anyone can
help in this matter please contact this site. |
