Bishop Hildesley, in the year 1764, purchased a plot of ground in the village, on which he built a Dwelling-house for the schoolmaster, and a School-house for the mistress, and gave the sum of 1:30, the interest of which he directed should be applied in repairing the Schoolhouse.

This sum of 1:30 is now in the hands of John Crow and John Corkan, who have passed their promissory note to the Vicar and Wardens for the same, dated 5 July, 1826, bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent.

The School-house is repaired by Parochial cess, and the interest of the said £30 is brought into the general assessment account.
