"The Reverend Charles Swainson played a prominent part in setting up the first non-paying schools in Crick and also in their subsequent management.
In 1846 land was purchased from the owner of the Wheatsheaf Inn and a national school was soon built in 1847, mostly funded by bequests and endowments from local people. It provided education for boys. Today the building is the home of the Crick Club, which provides various social facilities."
