The school at Ross c1908

I wonder if anybody has any information about the school at Ross which my mother Amy Badham and some of her sisters attended.
My mother would have been a pupil from about 1908.
I remember her saying that there were 2 rooms in which the children were taught, and she was the bell monitor.
I visited Ross around 15-20 years ago and tried to find the school.
A local resident who I asked said that the school was no longer there.

My Great Grandfather was William Creed born in Thornbury Glocs.
I would be interested to know who you are descended from, whether it was one of his siblings?

I have quite a lot of information on the Creed family.
I don't know how George Creed, William's son, my Gt Grandfather came to move to Bishops Wood, but I suspect as he was an agricultral labourer he moved to find work.
I would be interested if anyone has any information on Queach Cottage, Bishops Wood, which was where they lived.
Is it still there as it is an unusual name?
I believe a queach was a rise in land?
I believe Mary Ann, Georges wife lived there until she died. I would have thought that the cottage went with his work, but evidentley not.
She was in her 80's when she died.

William Creed son of John Creed the above William's son 1840-1871 Drowned in the river Severn age 31 at Arlingham
William Creed born 1871 son of the above William born after his father died.
William Creed born 1892 son of Arthur Creed and Charlotte Bevan who lived at Lydbrook, which is the line I think you descend from?
Arthur Creed was my mothers uncle so I think that makes your Gt Grandfather William my mothers cousin.
