The first village school was located in the church and taken by the minister, until the first schoolmaster was employed, named Thomas Wilson, who was buried in 1652. Eventually, in 1785, a two roomed school was built, mainly financed by donations.
Henry Brooke, son of Thomas, who had purchased the Minshull estate in 1790, left provision in his will for a new school to be built in 1871.
The photographs show headmaster Robert Kitchen and his wife with the school children.
