Great Stony School, Ongar

                              

Great Stony School was built between 1903 and 1905 as an orphanage to house the children of paupers. The school was designed to accommodate 300 children in a series of two and three storey dormitory blocks set around a central "village green".

Great Stony was completely self-sufficient and even had its own infirmary, as well as classrooms and assembly hall within the main school building.  It is a particularly well-preserved example of its type and although the buildings are not of exceptional architectural merit individually, they are of high quality and the group remains complete within a virtually unaltered setting.
