The school was eventually founded in 1838, and carried on for several years before the restructuring of education in the late 1800s. It is nowadays closed, haveing been subsequently used for storage and other menial purposes. It did have an additional role though, when The Lodge of Science (a freemason group) used it for meetings from 1869.
