Dore Old School

Dore Old School dates from 1821 when the Dore School and Charity Lands Trust was established by various worthies (including the Duke of Devonshire) and about 40 acres of land was allocated at the time of the Dore enclosures, the income from which was to pay the schoolmaster. It ceased to be the village school in 1966 and was transferred to the ownership of Trustees who now manage it as a community resource.

The Dore Village Society has its headquarters in the building, and the Old School is used regularly by art groups, Guides and Brownies, Bridge clubs, a luncheon club, Slimmingworld, ikebana, pilates, and is very popular for childrens parties.

Lettings are handled by the Vicarage Office.
