Now home to an estate agent, this is the original site of the Coates Institute. The foundation of the school was in the 1719 will of Richard Coates. He left money to found a school, pay the master, and clothe and teach 15 poor children. There was a later Coates School in front of the church which was demolished in 1968 Image when a new one was built on Thornhill Road.
