This care home now occupies a former school. Built in 1889, the Gothic style St Mark's school catered for local children from the age of five upwards. In 1926 it opened it doors as an Infant and Junior School; by 1961 the older children were moved to another premise in Somerset Road, and in 1990 the last of the pupils left for new buildings.
