There has been some form of school in the village since 1663, this present school was erected in 1862 by the Towry Trust, and subsequently rebuilt in 1926 due to lack of room, the school has again recently been extended.

Turn left just past the school into NOTTINGHAM ROAD, site of the Y.M.C.A hut during the 1st world war.

At the end of Nottingham Road, and in front of you is by far the oldest building in the village - St. Bartholomew’s church, and this is the highest point of all, sited on a mound 70 feet above sea level. The Lychgate, which is a war memorial was dedicated in 1952. There are three bells in the church. The clock chimes every hour, and the bells ring for Sunday services and weddings.

ALDBROUGH CLIFF TOP Approximately one mile out of the village lies the cliff edge, a distance which has become somewhat reduced over the years due to constant battering by the North Sea, the boulder clay cliffs are being eroded at a rate of approximately 5 feet per year. Over the years many properties have been taken by the sea, the original caravan park entrance can still be seen, but is ever

closer to the edge. The caravan park continues to grow, fishing lakes and many other new features have been added, the Double Dutch public house (formerly the Royal Hotel) stands at the end of Seaside Road.
