But at this day, every one knows that the site of a building intended for numbers should be chosen with far greater care than that of a private dwelling, from the tendency to illness, both infectious and otherwise, produced by the congregation of people in close proximity.
The house is still remaining that formed part of that occupied by the school.

It is a long, bow-windowed cottage, now divided into two dwellings.

It stands facing the Leck, between which and it intervenes a space, about seventy yards deep, that was once the school garden.

This original house was an old dwelling of the Picard family, which they had inhabited for two generations.

They sold it for school purposes, and an additional building was erected, running at right angles from the older part.
