THESE were the last in a long line of children to attend Iffley School in Oxford in 1961.
They were presented with Bibles by the vicar and his wife on the day the school closed.
Village children had been taught there for more than 100 years.
But by 1961, a new primary school had been built on the neighbouring Rose Hill estate and the number of children being taught at Iffley had dwindled.

The youngsters pictured above were the only ones still attending classes there when the doors closed for the last time.
The school had opened as a national school in 1838, in a building which is now the church hall.
Over the next 123 years, hundreds of village children were taught there.
The picture above was sent in by Kathleen Cullen, of Lenthall Road, Rose Hill, whose four children, Richard, Michael, Julia and David, were pupils.
