Notes:

1. St John’s School for Catholic children was built in January 1864. The upper floor was used as a chapel, because the old church by John Dobson had been demolished, until the new church (HER 7078) was built in 1893 – indeed the building is listed as St. John’s Church in the 1871 census.
When the new church was finished in 1895, both floors of the school were used as classrooms.
There were over 400 pupils.
The upper floor of the school had been removed by 1950, along with its gabled roof and arched windows on the west wall.
Recorded in 2004 – a stone built rectangular building with five doorways, steps to those on the south elevation.

  Our readers would see in the “Illus-

  trated Chronicle” of Monday, January

  11th, the picture of the football

  competition held among the different

  battalions of the Naval Brigade, now

  interned at Groningen, Holland, as

  prisoners of war.  The captain of the

  team which won the medals, was a

  scholar of St. John’s Boys School, Peter

  McNulty being his name.

  The present boys of the school have

  formed a fund, for the purpose of

  sending cigarettes to the hapless chaps

  in Holland, and a fair supply has

  already been sent.

  Mr. Curry, the headmaster, would

  be delighted to receive the name of

  any of the old boys, whose names

  have been omitted.
