Separate Boys / Girls entrances on the Hanbury school, Stonton Rd, Church Langton.

"This school and attached school houses were built in 1873 by Joseph Goddard. They have the inscription 'These schools were founded for the education and religious instruction of boys and girls of this parish by the Revd William Hanbury MA, Rector of Church Langton AD 1767. Erected by the trustees of the Hanbury Charity AD 1873. Glory be to God on High and on Earth, Peace, Goodwill toward men'. Revd William Hanbury (1725-77) became rector of Church Langton in 1750. He was a botanist, market gardener, and sponsor of the arts. He planned to create a vast minster and college complex in the south Leicestershire countryside. He set up a Trust for this purpose which is still providing funds for the education of local children. He is also remembered as the man who arranged for the first performance of Handel's oratorio `Messiah' to be performed in Leicestershire in the parish Church of Church Langton. The school later became a teacher's centre."
