A modern school on Puddington Lane named after Thomas Wilson, Bishop of the Isle of Man from 1698 to 1755, who was born in Burton. In 1724-5 Bishop Wilson built the original School and Schoolmaster's House, a group of red stone buildings, standing very prominently on the brow of the hill, commanding an extensive view over the estuary. They were given by Bishop Wilson for the free education of the Burton boys and girls and of four from Puddington, he also endowed them with 26 acres of land lying to the north of the hill.
