A National School (Church of England) was established in the Hourne using land purchased from the Sculcoates Guardians of the Poor. The three-roomed school opened in 1856, partly financed by a grant, to provide education for the poorer classes. The vicar and churchwardens were trustees. In 1866 the school was extended to accommodate a rapidly growing population. [Description largely based per Hessle Local History Society web-site]. Today the building is utilised by Hessle Children's Centre.
