Blue plaque № 57614

Thatcham, West Berkshire, England, United Kingdom

This building was erected in 1304 as the chapel of St Thomas and was used for worship until about 1550. After a long period of neglect, it was occupied as the Winchcombe Charity School 1707 - 30 and as a blue coat school 1794 - 1914. Since then it has served as a cooking depot, a classroom and as an

antiques shop. It is still known as the blue coat school and is owned by Newbury District Council.
