Summary

Description
English: Flintham Museum and Community Shop The brick building is the Museum. It was built as a charity school in 1779, and when superseded in the 1874 by the new village school became a reading room under the terms of the charity.

This function decayed in the 1930s, with final closure resulting from the declaration of war. Various societies continued to use the building until Scouts took up residence in the 1970s. When they moved out in 1995, the Trustees sold the building to the Flintham Society, which created a small local history museum.

Later still, a community shop was built on part of the site. This is the green timber building to the right of the picture; it is run by the community for the community.
