Text description provided by the architects. The project consists of a collection of Victorian school buildings which were left empty for several years and quickly fell into disrepair. Local residents rallied to over turn a planning approval to develop the site into housing. A local volunteer group named Fletcher in Rye were formed – named after playwright John Fletcher who was born in the building opposite. Fletcher in Rye purchased the site after the housing scheme had been overturned with the aim of preserving the site for future generations as well as promoting film and the arts in Rye.
