Geograph - photograph every grid square

There must be around a dozen photographs in this square featuring the café that stands opposite the turning for Lastingham and Rosedale towards the top end of the village green in Hutton le Hole. There's also quite a variety of different titles for the photos, ranging from 'Shop and Tea Room' to 'Old Church'. The latter title is the more interesting, but more about that below.

What is certain is that this was once the village school, built in 1875 and in use for around 100 years [Pauline E has the correct facts], and is now a café downstairs with holiday accommodation above. Before the erection of this building the school was housed in a small building dated 1845 and a short distance away down by the beck. This is also known as 'The Potter's House'.

So where does the idea that this was once a church come from? The building does have a little steeple which gives it a church like appearance, but such a design was not uncommon with Victorian schools. If one refers to old OS maps, then the 1853 6" map shows nothing here, but in 1891 the 25" map shows the building as 'Church and School', further research reveals that the local Anglican community were using the schoolroom for some services before they had a place of worship of their own in the village. In 1901 the former Zion chapel was purchased, this being adjacent to the present church of St Chad, a little further down the village, the new church not being consecrated until 1934. Maps from 1910 onwards simply show the building as a school.

So who is correct with the various titles? It appears that the idea of this being a former church can be discounted despite it having temporary use for services in the late 19thC. Anything else goes!
