History
Speedwell Provisional School operated from 12 August 1912 to July 1913 as a half-time provisional school with Abbeywood Provisional School (meaning they shared a single teacher between them). It then became a full-time provisional school (having its own teacher). On 1 January 1915 it became Speedwell State School. It closed in 1962.[3]
Speedwell Baptist Church opened on Sunday 16 April 1916.[4] In 1967 the church building and congregation relocated to Proston.[5][6][7]
In the 2016 census Speedwell had a population of 28 people.[1]
