The original school at Langdon Hills stands at the summit
of Crown Hill just beyond the church of St. Mary's and All Saints. It opened in 1860 and was
run by the National Society set up by the Church of England to provide schools. In 1903 the
Church of England took over its direct running. The building was enlarged in 1882 and since closure in 1911, when the new school opened, has been used as a private residence. Up until 1962 it had a thatched roof. On the outer brickwork there can be seen an engraved stone (L.H.S 1860), the initials of which lay claim to its former usage. For many years a wooden nameplate adorned the front wall with the words 'Old School House'. Text written 2002 with revisions 2006-2007,2010. Copyright © 2002-2007,2010, Basildon History Online.
