John Betts School, Paddenwick Road, Hammersmith, Greater London
This charity school was built in 1859 and endowed by the John Betts Charity. It was built to have an infants' classroom, two large schoolrooms, one for boys and one for girls, several other classrooms and two teachers' houses. They were arranged around three sides of a courtyard. The Betts Trust was created by Dr John Betts of Hammersmith, for the Free School of St Peter's. It was for poor children of Protestant parents living in Hammersmith or the adjoining parishes. To go to the school children had to go to church every Sunday at a local Protestant church. The school buildings cost £6,000 to build.
