This building was not shown on the 1850 OS map, and is captioned 'Sunday School' on a mid-20C map. To the left, further down School Lane, there is a group of former mill-workers' houses called Holme Villas. It is strange that the locality name Lingards Wood is in Marsden and not Lingards. Perhaps it originally meant the wood near to Lingards.
