Background
History
Laughton is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book, as "Lacestone" and "Lastone", with 29 households. A village school was founded in 1566 by a bequest of Dr Roger Dalison, an uncle of Sir Roger Dalison, and was established as a free grammar school in 1578. It was located in the Church Stile. A new school-house was built in 1821, funded by Isabella Ingram-Seymour-Conway, Marchioness of Hertford. The Ingram family were the local landowners, giving their name to the Ingram Arms public house.
