St. John's, Deptford, New Schools, Upper Lewisham Road, 1856. Creator: Unknown
St. John's, Deptford, New Schools, Upper Lewisham Road, 1856. By the munificent gift of £10, 000, placed at the disposal of Archdeacon Sinclair, by Miss Courts, a noble church has been erected [in Lewisham, now part of London]...A temporary school-room, which had been opened at the beginning of last year, was immediately filled to overflowing...The schools - which are singularly beautiful in outline, and the internal arrangements admirably adapted for the purposes of education for 200 boys, 170 girls, and 200 infants, with residences - have been built by Messrs. Thompson, from the designs of Mr. Joseph Peacock...The committee have still a considerable sum to raise to complete the whole; and, as the greater portion of the district is inhabited by poor, and is densely populated, it is their anxious desire to perfect the whole establishment, for which there is so great need'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
