A successful private school in Market Lavington was run by a couple of spinster ladies. They were sisters and were therefore both Miss Chinnock. Their school operated in premises in High Street. The school prospered and survived for many years. We have already featured a bill for tuition at the school on this site.
Here we have a photo of the members of the school. The picture dates from 1923.

The Miss Chinnocks are in the centre of the photograph.

Sadly, we do not have the names of any of the children. Perhaps there are some nonagenarians still with us who were amongst these youngsters. Do let us know if you recognise any of them.
This girl might be in her mid 90s now.

Thanks for that information Marlene. You are almost certainly right although I believe the Miss Chinnocks moved from somewhere on the other side of High Street.
