Old C19 (girls?) voluntary/board school tucked away next to its schoolmaster's house. The plaque, barely legible, states it was erected in memory of Sir James John Hamilton, Bart. by his devoted widow in 1886. The family had already donated land for an earlier (boys?) school over the road, see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7208821
