Audley Endowed School

AUDLEY - The foundation stone of new premises for the Audley Endowed School was laid on the 3rd ult. The designs for the buildings are by Mr. Ford, of Burslem, and were selected in public competition. They are being carried into execution under his superintendence by Mr. Hayes, builder, Audley, whose contract amounts to £2.195, exclusive of boundary wall and fittings. The building is to be Gothic in style; it will be of red bricks, with stone dressings. The plan comprises a school and classroom and master’s residence, which adjoin each other. The school will hold about 100 children, and the house will afford accommodation for boarders. [Builder 3 June 1876 page 547]
