White's 1872 Trade Directory states that the village's National School was built in 1841 at a cost of £300, consisting of one schoolroom for boys and another for girls and infants. At the time of publication an additional schoolroom and classroom were being built, along with the schoolmaster's house (MLI126751). {2}
