History

Horninglow is one of the older parishes, shown on maps as early as 1770. Over time its development has increased the size of the area to its current layout.

The Church of England parish church of Horninglow is St John the Divine, part of the Diocese of Lichfield. The building dates from 1866; the architect was Edwin Holmes of Birmingham.[2]

A United Free Methodist mission chapel was opened in Carlton Street in 1898 and later housed the local doctor's surgery, now housed in a modern building opposite. St Thomas Methodist Church on Belvedere Road dates from 1907.[3]

In recent years, Horninglow has become a popular place to live with a wide variety of housing. Horninglow's one Grade II listed building, the Chestnuts farmhouse on Horninglow Road North, is being developed with barns being converted to residential accommodation as of 2008.

Education

Horninglow has a number of schools at both the primary and secondary school level.[4] Primary schools include Horninglow Primary: A De Ferrers trust academy, Outwoods Primary School (formerly Castle Park Infants School and William Hutson Junior School), Lansdowne Infant School, Eton Park Junior School, Belvedere Junior School and St Modwen's Roman Catholic Primary School.

The secondary school in Horninglow is the De Ferrers Academy, which is split between two sites, the Dove Campus in Harehedge Lane and the Trent Campus in St Mary's Drive. De Ferrers was recognised as good with outstanding features by Ofsted in April 2012.[5]
