 As with many cities and towns in the United Kingdom , the age of a number of the buildings in Chew Stoke , including the church , school , and several houses , reflects the long history of the village . For example , Chew Stoke School has approximately 170 pupils between 4 and 11 years old . After the age of 11 , most pupils attend Chew Valley School . These two buildings were built in 1858 on the site of a former charity school founded in 1718 . The architect was S.B. Gabriel of Bristol . Additional classrooms were built in 1926 , and further alterations and extensions were carried out in 1970 .
