About

For over 700 years, a small chapel has stood at the eastern end of Thatcham on the main London to Bath Road. The chapel is one of the oldest buildings in West Berkshire and is a Grade I Listed Building. In 2004, the Thatcham (Old Bluecoat School) Charity was established with the aim of raising funds to repair the building for the advancement of education and to provide leisure and recreation facilities. This site documents our progress and describes how you can get involved.

Above is a picture of the Old Bluecoat School in January 2015 following a substantial ‘make over’.  In the news section you can see how the work to the outside progressed.  In January we had an opening Concert and refreshments to celebrate the work and now plan to commence fundraising to improve the inside and storage facilities
