Many people here think they have seen Clayburn Village because they have driven through on Clayburn Road, but off on the side streets, there a few little treasures. This is an historic little place, once the home of the employees of the Clayburn Brick Company.
The old school house has been preserved, but not exactly refurbished. I was asked to quote on doing some extensive work here a few years ago, but my bid was rejected, as were the bids of several other contractors. The society had no idea of the costs involved and were probably just testing the waters. But it was my opportunity to see the interesting nooks and crannies of this old school house, not unlike the school of my boyhood years.
Across the street is a fine old church, constructed of Clayburn Brick, naturally.
It is still used as a church. I have not been inside this building,
But would love to see what is on the other side of those doors.
Tomorrow, some of the homes and the old country store of Clayburn village.

I've been inside. It's empty...no pews and the altar area is just up up step from the rest of the floor. Very spartan but a great place for a small intimate wedding.
