The Brun





Two Hundred years ago it all did begin,

In a tiny little room, besides the New Inn.

Seven men got together and the decision was made.

Run by George Drayton, a surgeon by trade.

After some arguments, they said he must go.

Drayton built a chapel in the then Parkers Row.

The chapel it prospered, as record books tell,

But when Drayton resigned, attendances fell.

A new school was built as the records recall,

 In 1884 with The Raikes Memorial Hall.

By 1972 their building was old,

So the building was emptied, and the chapel was sold.

Whilst leaving the chapel, the search had begun,

Foundations were laid and they built the New Brun.
