Located in Behind Berry, the old school buildings are a typical example of local work. The land-owning Pinney family built several buildings in the town, with Ham Stone the usual choice for them. The school was built in the mid-nineteenth century with later additions and extensions; it was subseqenetly closed as a new school was founded elsewhere. Grade II listed. A benchmark of similar age lies on the lower course close to the modern pavement level - see Image
