Full Description

A Victorian School, present on both the 1887 and the 1906 map of Middle Rasen. {1}{2} White's 1856 Directory of Lincolnshire notes that a charity school was founded in the village by John Wilkinson in 1720 for 8 poor children. The school had two acres of land allotted to it. {3} Documents from the Lincolnshire Archives state that the school was built in 1875, replacing a charity school founded by the will of John Wilkinson. The school was administered from 1878 to 1903 as Middle Rasen Board School. It became Middle Rasen Council School in 1903 and Middle Rasen County School or County Primary School, about 1947. Senior pupils were transferred to the new Market Rasen Senior Council School from 1937. The school was known as Middle Rasen County Primary School prior to September 1999. {4}
