This outstanding red brick school which is a Herefordshire landmark gothic building was built around the late 1850's . The school, among many other buildings and houses were under the George Jarvis charity, the school offered boarding since the day of opening, this was aimed for the benefit of children who came from a poor family. The building has had the American army stay there and is said to have been as a hospital for the Army at some point in it's history. It was also used as a Youth Hostel in the 1980's. It's no surprise that a building of this age with a rich history is rumoured to be so haunted . The locals often speak about the ghostly man looking out of the top floor window which they believe is the unsettled and angry spirit of George Jarvis who is believed to haunt the school, after all, his money was used to erect this public building which went right against everything in his will. George Jarvis, who left his massive fortune to the poor of Staunton-on-Wye, Bredwardine and Letton in 1793, demanded his legacy never be used to erect public buildings. In his will, George Jarvis stated: "My mind and will is that none of the said monies be appropriated in erecting any public buildings whatsoever." Former pupils of the school and staff have shared their spooky experiences , from things moving on their own accord in classrooms to ghostly legs being seen in the corridor. Most people that have been in this school have a story to tell. There are also some ghost books in circulation that feature the hauntings of this former school. The main school building has over 40 rooms across 4 floor levels, the cellars , Ground Floor, First Floor and Second Floor.

The Shelter Valley Concert Series May concert features a double-bill concert of Made In Canada Live & Local Magic. Series Host Randy Stewart opens for a set and then introduces us to local singer songwriter Mark Andrew Smith . Mark Andrew Smith wrote his first song when he was five years old. He continues to write: “lyrics about his interesting life all across Canada - songs you can relate to, find yourself, your friends, and your own home town in.” He's become a fixture on the Belleville music scene with his spectrum of cover songs from so many genres - but Shelter Valley will showcase his distinctly unforgettable originals. Randy Stewart is a Canadian singer/songwriter who has been performing professionally for more than 30 years. He has been seen on television, heard on radio and recorded by the CBC. His recordings can be found in the delete bins of some of the country’s finest record stores. He has been crusading for years to purge love songs from his performances. His mantra – Sad Songs & Funny Songs ‘I DON’T PLAY LOVE SONGS’ – has become familiar to music fans throughout the region and lead him to seach for the unexpected songs found in the cannons of resistance and protest movements. “There are a lot of performers out there singing about love and relationships – I’m just not one of ‘em”. Pineapple Productions is extremely proud to present this exclusive concert as part of our 2025 Shelter Valley Concert Series . The Shelter Valley Concert Series is a monthly series of concerts by area performers presented on the fourth Wednesday of each month from March to November at the Vernonville Community Centre in the heart of Shelter Valley. PLEASE NOTE: Advance Tickets are available online only until midnight Tuesday, July 22 . Advance Tickets are not available on the day of the show.
