Pulford
School was first built in Church Square in 1790, by the Hon.
Mary Leigh of the Manor House. Later funding for the school
was provided by a bequest from Rev. Joshua Pulford of All Saints
Church and thus given his name. The school remained on Church
Square until 1884 when a new site was provided
by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. (It was thought the noise
and din of the market animals in Church Square distracted the
pupils).
