Does anyone remember the classroom block called the Hengist or Engist at Mansel Junior School? It was separate from the main building and consisted of 2 classrooms with a store room in between. Miss Dronfield always seemed to be the teacher in one of the rooms. (She taught Scottish country dancing as an after school activity). I always wondered how it got that name.

Monteney Junior School also had a couple of Hengist blocks up behind the 'as was' Monteney infants!
