Standing on the corner of Tyssen Place in South Ockendon, you might just miss the history of the buildings around you. You might think you’re just looking at a typical primary school, but there’s a legacy here. Benyon Primary School stands on land that was once part of the Manor of North Ockendon. This manor has a history stretching back centuries. The Lord of the Manor, in this case, Richard Benyon de Beauvoir, a man who had already been Lord of the Manor of Newbury and Romford, purchased the manor. This wasn’t just any purchase, it was a purchase made by a man who had a great deal of influence in the area. Not only did he become the Lord of the Manor, but he also contributed to education. In 1842, he built a schoolhouse, a place where knowledge could be nurtured and children could learn. This wasn’t just some small school; the school was built to hold 80 pupils. It was a thriving center of learning for the community, reflecting the generosity of the Lord of the Manor. Benyon Primary School continues that legacy. It’s a place where children learn, grow and discover their potential, just like those first students in 1842. Even though it’s not the same schoolhouse, the spirit of education lives on.
