The house was originally built as the school house for the adjoining Duke of Northumberland’s Jubilee School, which was founded by the 2nd Duke of Northumberland to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of King George III and to provide elementary education for 200 poor boys. It was opened in 1811 and eventually became known simply as the 'Duke’s School’ moving to a new site in 1904.
