The Old School House - Watercolour by Tim Fisher

Frisby Old School Group

is currently fundraising to save the Old School Building. Their aim is to purchase it and maintain it as a community and educational facility for the Upper Wreake Parish. They need to raise �30,000 over 5 years to purchase the building itself and then be able to maintain it.

They are ahead of schedule having managed to raise so far nearly �20,000. But they still need to do a lot of fund raising to reach their target, and to then manage to refusrbish the school house which is need of restoration.

If you wish to help them in their endeavours, you may be interested in purchasing a print of Tim Fisher's watercolour painting of the Old School House. Cost �30.
